Abstract We propose to perform two 170 ks INTEGRAL ToO observations of a transient millisecond X-ray pulsar in outburst. To constrain the broadband spectrum we also request one 30 ks simultaneous NuSTAR and two 50 ks XMM-Newton observations. The target can be either one of the fifteen known transient accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (AMXPs) in the case of a new outburst or a newly observed object of this class. These observations allow us to study the broad band spectrum in detail from hard to soft X-ray energies as well as the timing properties or eclipsing features of the source during its outburst. The high-statistics spectral information make it possible to disentangle the contributions of soft black body, reflection (if any) and hard Comptonized spectral components. Moreover, we will detect type-I X-ray bursts, and/or for the first time also burst oscillations at high-energy (if present). In particular we will be able to study the energy spectrum in a broad energy range (0.1-300 keV) and with unprecedented high-sensitivity above 20 keV. The INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations will also allow a timing analysis to study the pulse profile, time lags and pulsed spectrum, and so will provide important constraints on emission mechanisms.Similar proposals were approved for the INTEGRAL AO2-AO14 cycles, and during these years our ToO has been triggered eight times, i.e., in 2003 we observed XTE J1807-294, in 2004, 2005, 2009, 2011, and 2013 we triggered on newly discovered sources IGR J00291+5934, HETE 1900.1-2455, IGR J17511-3057, IGR J17498-2921, and IGR J18245-2452, respectively. In 2015, we triggered on IGR J00291+5934 and SAX J1748.5-2021 (data have been made public, because it was not clear whether the source in outburst was the AMXP).

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.
