| Abstract | The goal of this proposal is a detailed long-term study of the temporal andspectral behaviour of the blazar 1ES 1959+650 to investigate further featuresseen in past campaigns with MAGIC and build-up a legacy data sample. After a low state since 2002, bright outbursts in 2016 were surrounded by intermediateactivity (2015-2018). Past observations have revealed a peak-shift towardshigher energies hinting an EHBL-like nature, fast intra-night and long-termvariabilityas well as complex correlation patterns between wavebands. These features challenge simple one-zone synchrotron self-Compton models and suggest amore complex emission region. |

| 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. |
