Hunting high-energy flares in radio-weak BL Lacs

The recent release of gamma-ray catalogues from Fermi/LAT has revealed several sources with no counterparts in the lower energy regime of the electromagnetic spectrum, among which radio-weak BL Lacs. The existence of this radio-quiet version of the well-know BL Lac objects has remained an open question in the past decades. Their identification and study could add a significant piece to the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) unification model, probing the minimum conditions needed for the launching and collimation of relativistic jets.

Details on Observing Strategy and Trigger Criteria
A trigger is requested in case of outburst during INTEGRAL AO-21.
