| Description | Owing to their brightness and proximity, Mrk421 and Mrk501 are among the blazars that can be studied with the greatest level of detail, and thus excellent astrophysical laboratories to study the underlying physics of blazars. We request MAGIC observations to provide sensitive VHE coverage for the multi-instrument campaigns in 2023/2024. These MAGIC observations are needed to characterise with accuracy the high-energy bump and its temporal evolution with simultaneous coverage for the low-energy bump. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
