Dear Dave, Matthias and Ann,
We are, indeed very interested in joining the campaign on 3C454.3 --- we
plan to monitor it's flux daily with the OVRO 40M Telescope at 15 GHz.
Please can you let us know whether there is any interest in more frequent
monitoring?
Thanks,
Tony

Multiwavelength Colleagues,
The GLAST Large Area Telescope AGN science group is starting a
multiwavelength campaign for blazar 3C454.3 (2251+158), effective immediately
and continuing through the middle of August. This Ad-Hoc Intensive Campaign
(AIC) is prompted by brightening in the radio, optical and X-ray. Swift
Target of Opportunity observations are planned. A Spitzer observation is
scheduled.
The campaign managers are: Matthias Kadler,

Please contact them if you have telescope time and are interested in joining
this campaign. For this campaign, the policy on data sharing will be: if you
observe and send data that can be used, you are a co-author of a resulting
multiwavelength publication unless you just want an acknowledgment. Anyone
who contributes data keeps the right to publish those data separately.
Information about this source and this campaign can be found at
https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/GLAMCOG/July%2C+2007%2C+Multiwavelength+Campaign+on+3C454.3
The data submission format and preliminary results will be available through
this Web site, also.
Although there will be no GLAST gamma-ray data (GLAST is still in testing in
Arizona), the opportunity for good multiwavelength coverage of this source
right now is excellent at other wavelengths. In addition to the intrinsic
scientific interest, this campaign can be used to establish planning and
coordination routines for the upcoming years of multiwavelength blazar
observations with GLAST.
