Abstract In this AO, we propose to observe for 700 ksec the brightest broad line radio galaxy (IGR J21247+5058) in the hard X-ray sky. We request a joint 10 ksec observation with XMM ideally covering the central part of the INTEGRAL pointing; two Swift/XRT observations, of 10 ksec each, will also be performed at the beginning and at the end of the INTEGRAL measurement; we will also have a daily radio monitoring of the source at 15 GHz, using the AMI telescope. The aim of this proposal is to obtain high quality, simultaneous coverage over a broad energy range, in order to characterise both the low and high energy spectral param- eters and the weak reprocessing features of the source, also providing further monitoring of this peculiar object, which has complex and variable absorption, at odds with its type 1 classification. The simultaneity of the XMM and INTEGRAL observations, together with the Swift/XRT measurements, will allow us to assess the nature of the variability in this source as well as to place stringent constraints on two important high energy parameters: the high energy cut-off and the Compton reflection hump above 10 keV. Compared with previous data, this joint observation can shed light on the nature of a bright and quite peculiar radio galaxy.

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.
