Abstract We propose a 150 ks observation of Cen A simultaneous with the 40 ks Astro-E2 observation during calibration phase 1A. Theprimary goal of the combined observations is to characterize thecontinuum shape, especially the location of any hard x-ray break,as well as search for variations in the spectrumby contrasting this observation with the three previous INTEGRAL observations. Another primary goal is to provide an early Astro-E2/INTEGRAL cross calibration of instruments utilizing a source with a simple spectral shape and low intensity,which allows accumulation of data with a minimum of pile-up effects in Astro-E2.

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.
