Abstract PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary comprising a radio pulsar in orbit around a Be star. To study the hard X-ray activity after the next periastron passage happening within AO11, perhaps concurrent with a new GeV flare, we propose a series of INTEGRAL observations with total exposure of 800 ks. These observations will provide a unique chance to understand the hard X-ray emission after periastron and shed light on the nature of the possible GeV flare.

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.
