Abstract We propose a 200 ks INTEGRAL observation of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIG) Mrk 273. Due to the penetrating power of gamma rays, INTEGRAL observations can determine whether the luminous infrared emission in Mrk 273 originates from a buried AGN, with important implications for theories of galaxy evolution and the relationship between quasars, disturbed galaxies, and normal galaxies. the INTEGRAL results will also be important for determining the contribution of infrared luminous glaxies to the soft X-ray and gamma-ray background.

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.
