Abstract We propose one 1000ks exposure of blazar PKS 1510-089. The source is bright and have very hard X-ray spectrum. High quality data obtained by INTEGRAL will allow us to determine the primary Comptonization mechanism for this source. We also plan to look for a location of the spectrum softening in soft gamma-rays and for soft X-ray excess. This information is crucial to accurately derive parameters of models of blazars.

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.
