Abstract We propose to observe the peculiar accreting X-ray pulsar X-Per three times for 200 ksec each, resulting in a total exposure time of 600 ksec. This will be the first Integral observation of the Perseus region -- there are currently neither public nor private data available within 8 degrees of X-Per. This 600 ksec long observation will therefore not only allow us to perform phase-resolved spectroscopy to study the cyclotron line at 30 keV, to search for a harmonic line, and to determine the high energy continuum of the source to study the abnormal spectral shape from 2 keV up to 100 keV, but also to get a first deep view of the Perseus region with the possibility to discover new sources. Performing three separated observations will allow us to sample the binary orbit at no extra cost. This proposal was accepted in AO4 in category B, but was not performed to date.

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.
