Abstract The discovery of transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs), and outbursts from known AXPs, has opened a new perspective in the magnetars field. This proposal is aimed at gathering new insights on the physics of magnetars through the study of the multi-band spectrum of the initial phase of their outbursts. We ask for one 200 ks, ToO INTEGRAL, observation, to be triggered within 10 days following a X--ray flux increase (> than a factor of 10) from a sample of known AXPs, and from possible new sources. This observation is aimed at discovering (or study the variability) of the hard X-ray emissionduring magnetars outburst activity.

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.
