Test of Thick Pixelated Orbotech Detectors with and without Steering Grids
I. Jung, A. Garson, H. Krawczynski +4
We report here on the optimization of 0.5 cm thick pixelated Orbotech CZT detectors with regards to the best contacting materials and the use of steering grids. We evaluated the pe…
Thick Pixelated CZT Detectors With Isolated Steering Grids
I. Jung, A. B. Garson, J. S. Perkins +5
We explore the possibility to improve the performance of 0.5 cm thick Cadmium Zinc Telluride (CZT) detectors with the help of steering grids on the anode side of the detectors. Ste…
SPI/INTEGRAL in-flight performance
J. -P. Roques, S. Schanne, A. von Kienlin +23
The SPI instrument has been launched on-board the INTEGRAL observatory on October 17, 2002. SPI is a spectrometer devoted to the sky observation in the 20 keV-8 MeV energy range us…
SPI/INTEGRAL observation of the Cygnus region
L. Bouchet, E. Jourdain, J. -P. Roques +22
We present the analysis of the first observations of the Cygnus region by the SPI spectrometer onboard the Integral Gamma Ray Observatory, encompassing 600 ks of data. Thr…
Early SPI/INTEGRAL measurements of galactic 511 keV line emission from positron annihilation
P. Jean, J. Knoedlseder, V. Lonjou +18
We report the first measurements of the 511 keV line emission from the Galactic Centre (GC) region performed with the spectrometer SPI on the space observatory INTEGRAL (Internatio…
Mirax: A Brazilian X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Mission
J. Braga, R. Rothschild, J. Heise +9
We describe the ``Monitor e Imageador de Raios-X'' (MIRAX), an X-ray astronomy satellite mission proposed by the high energy astrophysics group at the National Institute for Space…
