Abstract

AbstractThe future INTEGRAL satellite, to be launched in 2002, will observe the universe in gamma-rays. Parallel observations in other wavelengths are desirable for many gamma-ray objects, the most famous being certainly the gamma-ray bursts.In this article, we present the INTEGRAL mission and its scientific objectives. We then give three examples of astrophysics fields for which combined gamma ray and optical observations are recommended. Small telescopes would be ideally suited for many of the studies.
