Abstract yWe propose to obtain up to 6 deep exposures of a black hole transientin outburst, as part of a global, simultaneous multi-wavelengthcampaign. Each exposure should be 130 ksec in duration (1/2 orbit).Curvature and breaks in the high energy spectra of black holes areessential for comparing gamma-ray and X-ray states, and forrevealing the relationship between hard X-ray emission and jets. Itis now clear that deep exposures are needed to reveal diagnosticcurvature in the high energy spectra of black holes. To ease theburden of these observations on INTEGRAL and the community, andto generate broad interest in this science, we request that thedata be made public immediately.

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.
