Abstract	Extreme High-frequency BL Lacs (EHBL) feature their synchrotron peak of the broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) at $\nu_{\rm s} \geq $10$^{17}$\,Hz. The BL Lac object 1ES 2344+514 was included in the EHBL family because of its impressive shift of the synchrotron peak in 1996. During the following years, the source appeared to be in a low state without showing any extreme behaviours. In August 2016, 1ES 2344+514 was detected with the ground-based $\gamma$-ray telescope FACT during a high $\gamma$-ray state, triggering multi-wavelength (MWL) observations. We studied the MWL light curves of 1ES 2344+514 during the 2016 flaring state, using data from radio to VHE $\gamma$ rays taken with OVRO, KAIT, KVA, NOT, some telescopes of the GASP-WEBT collaboration at the Teide, Crimean, and St. Petersburg observatories, \textit{Swift}-UVOT, \textit{Swift}-XRT, \textit{Fermi}-LAT, FACT and MAGIC. With simultaneous observations of the flare, we built the broadband SED and studied it in the framework of a leptonic and an hadronic model. The VHE $\gamma$-ray observations show a flux level of 55\% of the Crab Nebula flux above 300\,GeV, similar to the historical maximum of 1995. The combination of MAGIC and \textit{Fermi}-LAT spectra provides an unprecedented characterization of the inverse-Compton peak for this object during a flaring episode. The $\Gamma$ index of the intrinsic spectrum in the VHE $\gamma$-ray band is $2.04\pm0.12_{\rm stat}\pm0.15_{\rm sys}$. We find the source in an extreme state with a shift of the position of the synchrotron peak to frequencies above or equal to $10^{18}$\,Hz

$MWL light curve of 1ES~2344+514 from MJD~57567 (28 June 2016) to MJD~57645 (14 September 2016). The observations were carried out using (from top to bottom) FACT (energy threshold $\sim 810$\,GeV), MAGIC ($>300$\,GeV, \textit{Fermi}-LAT (0.3\,GeV--300\,GeV), \textit{Swift}-XRT (2\,keV--10\,keV), \textit{Swift}-UVOT (W1, M2 and W2 filter), KVA, NOT, IAC80 and Stella at Teide, AZT-8 at Crimean Observatory, LX-200 at St. Petersburg ($R$ band), KAIT (optical, clear filter), TCS at Teide ($J$, $H$, $K$ filters), and OVRO (15\,GHz). In the \textit{Fermi}-LAT light curve we quote an upper limit at 95\% C.L. for time bins having TS~$<4$. The shadowed band represents the VHE $\gamma$-ray activity window. The band is centred on MJD~57610 (10 August 2016), which is the night in which FACT sent the alert which triggered MWL observations. The night of MJD~57613 (13 August 2016) is the night chosen for building the broadband SED. HE and VHE $\gamma$-ray panels show the flux in number of photons, while the other panels show the flux density in the respective energy bands. Optical and NIR data from 1ES~2344+514 shown here are corrected for the host galaxy contribution and galactic reddening.$ $$\Gamma_{\rm XRT}$ vs.~2\,keV--10\,keV flux. Solid green data points corresponds to the observations up to MJD~57629--29 August 2016 (high state), while open red data points matches the observations from MJD~57688--27 October 2016 (low state). Black asterisks correspond to the archival data from \textit{BEPPO-SAX} observations between 1996 and 1998 (\citealt{2000MNRAS.317..743G}).$ $Strictly simultaneous SED (MJD~57613 -- 13 August 2016) from \textit{Swift}-XRT, \textit{Swift}-UVOT is fitted with a log parabola in order to estimate the position of the synchrotron peak. The tentative value found is \mbox{$\nu_{\rm s} \approx 7.5 \times 10^{18}$\,Hz} \mbox{($\sim 30$ keV}--\mbox{$\chi^{2}/\mathrm{d.o.f.}= 8.97/9$)}. A more precise value deducted from the full broadband SED is presented in Sect.~\ref{sec:leptonic}.$ Show more plots
