| Abstract | Multiwavalength polarization, and in particular X-ray polarization, is animportant probe of the magnetic field geometry and high-energy emissionprocesses of blazar jets. The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE),scheduled for launch in December 2021, will open a new window to the Universethrough high-energy polarization. Here, we propose contemporaneous OM/PN/MOS --UV-X-ray observations of IXPE blazar targets. The proposed observations willsupplement our planned multiwavelength campaign from radio to gamma-rays. |

| 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. |
