Abstract We ask for a two year INTEGRAL Key Programme to observe the area of the Galaxy bounded by -20 < l < +20 and -15 < b < +15 with a total of 2 Msec of observations per AO. The aim is to study the inner region of the Galaxy, namely, to continue the search for evidence for gamma-ray flares from Sgr A*, to continue measuring the flux evolution of Sgr B2 through 2012, to monitor bursts and flares from the many LMXB neutron star sources, and to enable significant serendipitous science in the Galactic center 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.
