Abstract We propose to probe with INTEGRAL dust enshrouded AGN in two Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIGs): 1) Mrk 231 which is the most luminous object of this class in the Local Universe, and 2) IRAS 0518-25 which is an extremely warm infrared object. The purpose of this proposal is to measure the integrated flux in the 20-1000 keV energy band, before detailed spectroscopy with high energy resolution. These two galaxies are being observed under related proposals with XMM. The energy output in the XMM and INTEGRAL energy bands will allow to assess which is the relative contribution of the AGN to the overall radiative power in the most luminous galaxies of the Local Univers.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
