| Abstract | For the very first time we have detected 6 high-redshift blazars in the 20-200MeV band that lack X-ray data. These are powerful MeV blazars, which will pavethe way to the exploration of the MeV sky as performed by e-ASTROGRAM and COSI.We request to observe all 6 with XMM-Newton for a total of 122.2 ks. TheXMM-Newton observations will enable us to detect the proposed sources in thesoft X-ray band, accurately measure the spectral shape and flux in this band,and sample the onset of the inverse Compton emission. These properties arefundamental to determine the power of the jet and to derive the shape of theunderlying electron population responsible for the emission. |

| 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. |
