Abstract	These nearby galaxies proposed for study with INTEGRAL have been carefully selected as an intriguing set of exploratory objects, which could open an important window in the context of future gamma-ray/AGN studies and are readily detectable by INTEGRAL. Observation of these objects with INTEGRAL follows as a natural consequence of recent X-ray observations and in particular our recent survey of AGN in the hard X-ray region of the spectrum with CGRO-BATSE. Although classified differently within the Seyfert 2LINER context, and spanning the spiral, and elliptical galaxy classification; they appear to exhibit many fundamentally similar characteristics when the central engine is studied at high energies. They emit hard power law spectra above ~10 keV, and are highly obscured with absorption at the NH > 10E23 level. They are accreting material at a level that is considerably below their Eddington rate, and as such may be subject to Advection Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF). This model could explain why observations of the nuclei of several nearby galaxies indicate the presence of super massive (10E6 - 10E9 M(Solar)) black holes (BH) and yet not strong AGN activity. We plan to test such models and carefully analyse the implications of our results in terms of the evolution towards normal galaxies and the composition of the cosmic diffuse 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.
