Scientific paper

INTEGRAL, ESA's next venture in gamma-ray astronomy is due for launch in 2001. In addition to the two large gamma-ray instruments INTEGRAL will carry an X-ray monitor, JEM-X, and an optical monitor, OMC. The primary role of JEM-X will be to provide data on the X-ray flux and its variations from the targets observed by the gamma-ray instruments. JEM-X will also provide accurate positions for transient X- and gamma-ray sources observed during the mission. Together with the optical monitor, JEM-X can carry out a special program on stellar activity, independent of the two high energy instruments on INTEGRAL. .
