Abstract One of the key problems in X-ray and Gamma-ray astronomy is to understand accretion flows in a strong gravitational field and how they are coupled with the outflows, which can be a major channel for the outputof the accretion power. This applies to both Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), where the accretion is onto supermassive black hole, as well as stellar mass Galactic black holes and even neutron stars.We propose a program with INTEGRAL, coupled with multiwavelength observations, in order to performdeep hard X-ray observations of a recurrent black hole that is usually found in the Low Hard state: namelyGX 339-4 or XTE J1550-564. In studying several wavelength simultaneously along with the INTEGRAL band,we hope to gain a unique insight into the coupled inflow-outflow around an accreting stellar mass black hole,as never done before over such a large frequency range with very sensitive instruments.

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.
