Abstract As a follow-up of our earlier observations (2 Ms scheduled in AO-1, 2.5 Ms in AO-2, 2 Ms in AO-3, 932 ks in AO-14, 1.181 Ms in AO-15, 1.173 Ms in AO-16, 1.568 Ms in AO-17, 520 ks in AO-18, 1 Ms in AO-19) we propose a new deep 1.0 Ms exposure of the Galactic Center (GC) field which corresponds to 5% share of the total time available for this target in AO-20. Observations of the GC region make the best usage of the unique INTEGRAL capabilities and undoubtedly are the most efficient investment of its observing time. The main objectives of the proposed observations are the monitoring of Sgr A* and more than three dozens of black holes or other peculiar X-ray binaries including a search for new transient sources and phenomena.

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.
