Abstract	We propose to observe a known TeV gamma-ray blazar in outburst. The observationwill be supported by coordinated ground-based observations at TeV energies. Themain thrust of the proposed observation is to study the flaring phenomenon onsub-hour timescales jointly at X-ray and TeV energies. XMM covers a criticalspectral range for studying TeV gamma-ray blazars, because the SED of suchsources peaks in or near its passing band. The data will also allowinvestigations of correlated variability of the X-ray and TeV gamma-rayemission, spectral hysteresis, and hardness-intensity correlation. The resultsmay shed significant light on the properties of emitting regions in the jets ofTeV gamma-ray blazars, emission mechanisms, and the composition of the jets (i.e., leptonic vs hadronic).

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
