Abstract We ask for up to 3 INTEGRAL TOO observations of one blazar in outburst, for a total of 600 ks, conditional to stringent triggering criteria based on X-ray or gamma-ray brightening, as detected by the current high energy missions, including INTEGRAL itself, Swift/BAT and GLAST. Coordinated INTEGRAL and multiwavelength observations will guarantee the coverage of a broad energy range and allow us to follow the evolution of the overall spectral energy distribution during one or more flaring episodes. We will thus constrain the time-dependent parameters of the emission models. In particular, we would like to test in detail the scenario in which, for a given bolometric energy injected into a jet at different epochs, large flux variations are observed in individual frequency ranges, depending on the size of the dissipation region.

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.
