A Generalized Framework for Rapid Polarization Response Generation in Wide Field-of-View Compton Polarimeters
Mohamed Gamal Zaid, Merlin Kole, Mark McConnell +2
Polarimetry is the most direct probe of the unsettled radiation mechanism and magnetic field structure of gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission at the energies where it peaks, tens…
Magnetic Energy Powers the Corona: How We Can Understand its 3D Storage & Release
Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Roberto Casini +12
The coronal magnetic field is the prime driver behind many as-yet unsolved mysteries: solar eruptions, coronal heating, and the solar wind, to name a few. It is, however, still poo…
COMPLETE: A flagship mission for complete understanding of 3D coronal magnetic energy release
Amir Caspi, Daniel B. Seaton, Roberto Casini +12
COMPLETE is a flagship mission concept combining broadband spectroscopic imaging and comprehensive magnetography from multiple viewpoints around the Sun to enable tomographic recon…
All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory: Exploring the Extreme Multimessenger Universe
Julie McEnery, Juan Abel Barrio, Ivan Agudo +182
The All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) is a probe class mission concept that will provide essential contributions to multimessenger astrophysics in the late 2020s…
Solar Eruptive Events (SEE) 2020 Mission Concept
R. P. Lin, A. Caspi, S. Krucker +20
Major solar eruptive events (SEEs), consisting of both a large flare and a near simultaneous large fast coronal mass ejection (CME), are the most powerful explosions and also the m…
Deducing Electron Properties From Hard X-Ray Observations
E. P. Kontar, J. C. Brown, A. G. Emslie +11
X-radiation from energetic electrons is the prime diagnostic of flare-accelerated electrons. The observed X-ray flux (and polarization state) is fundamentally a convolution of the…
RHESSI as a Hard X-Ray Polarimeter
M. L. McConnell, J. M. Ryan, D. M. Smith +2
Polarization measurements of hard X-rays from solar flares can provide a direct handle on the extent to which the accelerated electrons are beamed, which, in turn, has important im…
COMPTEL Observations of the Gamma-Ray Blazar PKS 1622-297
S. Zhang, W. Collmar, K. Bennett +7
We report results of observations and analyses on the gamma-ray blazar PKS 1622-297, with emphasis on the COMPTEL data (0.75 - 30 MeV) collected between April 1991 and November 199…
The Crab pulsar in the 0.75-30 MeV range as seen by CGRO COMPTEL
L. Kuiper, W. Hermsen, G. Cusumano +5
We present the time-averaged characteristics of the Crab pulsar in the 0.75-30 MeV energy window using data from the imaging Compton Telescope COMPTEL aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray…
The Development of Coplanar CZT Detectors for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
M. L. McConnell, L. A. Hamel, J. R. Macri +2
The development of CdZnTe detectors with an orthogpnal coplanar anode structure has important implications for future astrophysical instrumentation. As electron-only devices, like…
The first COMPTEL Source Catalogue
V. Schoenfelder, the COMPTEL Collaboration
The imaging Compton telescope COMPTEL aboard NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory has opened the MeV gamma-ray band as a new window to astronomy. COMPTEL provided the first complet…
A High Sensitivity Measurement of the MeV Gamma-Ray Spectrum of Cygnus X-1
M. L. McConnell, J. M. Ryan, W. Collmar +9
The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) has observed the Cygnus region on several occasions since its launch in 1991. The data collected by the COMPTEL experiment on CGRO represen…
Milagrito: a TeV air-shower array
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins
Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's first air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for th…
TeV Observations of Markarian 501 with the Milagrito Water Cherenkov Detector
R. Atkins
The Milagrito water Cherenkov detector near Los Alamos, New Mexico, operated as a sky monitor at energies of a few TeV between February 1997 and May 1998 including the period of th…
