Abstract We propose to use INTEGRAL to obtain high quality broadband hard X-ray spectra of two Compton-thin Seyfert 2s with insufficient hard X-ray coverage to date: our primary object, Mkn 348, and a secondary target, the NELG NGC 526a. Both targets are X-ray bright, and have archival, long-term averaged RXTE-PCA spectra, as well as XMM-Newton and Suzaku spectra. Our proposed observations with INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI and JEM-X, combined with the lower energy archival spectra, will allow us to deconvolve broadband spectral components, constrain Compton reflection, and search for high-energy continuum cutoffs. We also request simultaneous XMM-Newton observations to aid in normalizing the low-energy spectrum.

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.
