Cosmological - Pair-Production Background
Mika A. Gelowicz, Thomas Siegert, Saurabh Mittal +10
The paper calculates how photons from the cosmic photon background interact with each other to produce electron‑positron pairs across cosmic time, and evaluates the resulting secon…
Stellar flares cannot explain the Galactic 511 keV emission
Saurabh Mittal, Thomas Siegert, Francesca Calore +12
The authors assess whether stellar flares can produce enough positrons to explain the Milky Way’s 511 keV annihilation line and conclude that flares fall short by several orders of…
On the Possibility of an Extragalactic Positron Annihilation Signal
Thomas Siegert, Hiroki Yoneda
With 20 years of INTEGRAL/SPI observations, Yoneda et al. (2025) created the most detailed map of the positron annihilation line at 511keV. While central bulge and extended disk ar…
Search for Axion-Like Particles from Nearby Pre-Supernova Stars
Saurabh Mittal, Thomas Siegert, Francesca Calore +7
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical pseudoscalar bosons that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model and are well-motivated dark matter candidates. Nearby massive s…
Imaging the positron annihilation line with 20 years of INTEGRAL/SPI observations
Hiroki Yoneda, Thomas Siegert, Saurabh Mittal
The e e annihilation line at 511 keV provides a unique probe for studying the distribution and origin of positrons in our Galaxy. The SPI spectrometer on INTEGRAL has obser…
Light WIMPs and MeV Gamma-ray Detection with COSI
Yu Watanabe, Shigeki Matsumoto, Christopher M. Karwin +6
Light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), whose masses are in the sub-GeV scale, have been attracting more attention due to the negative results searching for traditional…
