REMARKS

Remark on Radio observations:  The UTC times, when available, are approximate, and could change by several hours. The observation schedule of RATAN-600 will be available soon.

Remark on Optical observations:  The source was also observed by various optical instruments within the program GASP. The past observation schedule has been provided (START-STOP times still missing). The schedule for future observations is still not available. It will be available soon.

Remark on RXTE schedule:  PCU 2 experienced an unexpected trip-off on May 9th. Thus no observations were done.

Remark on Swift obs.:  The source has been observed by Swift during several days. The schedule will be provided soon.

Remark on Whipple/Veritas observations:  The schedule for the period starting on April 25th and beyond has not yet provided for Whipple. The VERITAS obs schedule will be available soon.

Remark on ARGO-YBJ observations:  The UTC START-STOP times correspond to the time window when Mrk501 is below 40 degrees zenith in the field of view of ARGO-YBJ.

Other remarks:  There were observations performed by INAOE (Mexico) at the end of March. NIR an optical photometry. Since those were specific observations (not a set of observations to be peformed along the campaign), those observations are not listed in this table.
