Cosmic X-ray background and Earth albedo Spectra with Swift/BAT
M. Ajello, J. Greiner, G. Sato +8
We use Swift/BAT Earth occultation data at different geomagnetic latitudes to derive a sensitive measurement of the Cosmic X-ray background (CXB) and of the Earth albedo emission i…
INTEGRAL SPI All-Sky View in Soft Gamma Rays: Study of Point Source and Galactic Diffuse Emissions
L. Bouchet, E. Jourdain, J. P. Roques +4
We have processed the data accumulated with INTEGRAL SPI during 4 years (~ 51 Ms) to study the Galactic ``diffuse'' emission morphology in the 20 keV to 8 MeV energy range. To achi…
Calibration of the GLAST Burst Monitor detectors
Andreas von Kienlin, Elisabetta Bissaldi, Giselher G. Lichti +15
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) will augment the capabilities of GLAST for the detection of cosmic gamma-ray bursts by extending the energy range (20 MeV to > 300 GeV) of the Large A…
Nuclear Astrophysics with Gamma-ray-ray Line Observations
Roland Diehl
Gamma-ray spectrometers with high spectral resolution have been operated in space since 2002. Major efforts to understand instrumental response and backgrounds are a requird before…
