Constraint Details

Monitor: Y
Criteria: We ask for 4 observations that are spaced by 2-3 days. The first observation should ideally start in the next 24-36 hours in order to catch the blazar soon after the gamma-ray flare. The monitoring will allow us to track the development and possible decay of the X-ray flux after the flare, which helps us to understand blazar variability.
