Calibration of the ComPair Balloon Instrument
Nicholas Kirschner, Zachary Metzler, Lucas D. Smith +25
ComPair, the prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO) mission concept, is a combined Compton imager and pair production telescope. It consists of four s…
Background Measurements and Simulations of the ComPair Balloon Flight
Zachary Metzler, Nicholas Kirschner, Lucas Smith +31
ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New…
SIRI-2 Detection of the Gamma-ray Burst 221009A
Lee J. Mitchell, Justin D. Finke, Bernard Phlips +2
SIRI-2 is a collection of Strontium Iodide gamma-ray detectors sensitive at approximately 400 keV to 10 MeV, launched on the Department of Defense's STPSat-6 to geosynchronous orbi…
The 2023 Balloon Flight of the ComPair Instrument
Lucas D. Smith, Nicholas Cannady, Regina Caputo +29
The ComPair balloon instrument is a prototype gamma-ray telescope that aims to further develop technology for observing the gamma-ray sky in the MeV regime. ComPair combines four d…
Results from the CsI Calorimeter onboard the 2023 ComPair Balloon Flight
Daniel Shy, Richard S. Woolf, Clio Sleator +33
The ComPair gamma-ray telescope is a technology demonstrator for a future gamma-ray telescope called the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO). The instrument is comp…
Exploring Large-Volume GAGG Scintillators for use in MeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
Daniel Shy, Richard Woolf, Bernard Phlips +2
Gamma-ray astrophysics in the MeV band is an exciting field in astronomy due to its potential for multi-messenger astrophysics. It has, however, remained under-explored when compar…
Development of a CsI Calorimeter for the Compton-Pair (ComPair) Balloon-Borne Gamma-Ray Telescope
Daniel Shy, Richard S. Woolf, Clio C. Sleator +7
There is a growing interest in astrophysics to fill in the observational gamma-ray MeV gap. We, therefore, developed a CsI:Tl calorimeter prototype as a subsystem to a balloon-base…
The Compton-Pair telescope: A prototype for a next-generation MeV -ray observatory
Janeth Valverde, Nicholas Kirschner, Zachary Metzler +31
The Compton Pair (ComPair) telescope is a prototype that aims to develop the necessary technologies for future medium energy gamma-ray missions and to design, build, and test the p…
Development of the ComPair gamma-ray telescope prototype
Daniel Shy, Carolyn Kierans, Nicolas Cannady +22
There is a growing interest in the science uniquely enabled by observations in the MeV range, particularly in light of multi-messenger astrophysics. The Compton Pair (ComPair) tele…
