Gamma-ray continuum emission from the inner Galactic region as observed with INTEGRAL/SPI
A. W. Strong, R. Diehl, H. Halloin +5
The diffuse continuum emission from the Galactic plane in the energy range 18-1000 keV has been studied using 16 Ms of data from the SPI instrument on INTEGRAL. With such an exposu…
A new estimate of the Galactic interstellar radiation field between 0.1 microns and 1000 microns
T. A. Porter, A. W. Strong
Cosmic-ray electrons and positrons propagating in the Galaxy produce diffuse gamma-rays via the inverse Compton (IC) process. The low energy target photon populations with which th…
Search for 44Ti gamma-ray line emission from GRO J0852-4642 with INTEGRAL/SPI
A. von Kienlin, D. Attie, S. Schanne +7
The gamma-ray source GRO J0852-4642, discovered by COMPTEL, is a possible counterpart of the supernova remnant RX J0852-4622. Detection of radioactive decay from 44Ti nuclei would…
SPI Measurements of the Diffuse Galactic Hard X-ray Continuum
A. W. Strong, R. Diehl, H. Halloin +6
INTEGRAL Spectrometer SPI data from the first year of the Galactic Centre Deep Exposure has been analysed for the diffuse continuum from the Galactic ridge. A new catalogue of sour…
Contribution of point sources to the soft gamma-ray Galactic emission
Regis Terrier, Francois Lebrun, Guillaume Belanger +6
The nature of the soft gamma-ray (20-200 keV) Galactic emission has been a matter of debate for a long time. Previous experiments have tried to separate the point source contributi…
Al(26) Studies with INTEGRAL's Spectrometer SPI
R. Diehl, K. Kretschmer, G. Lichti +13
Al(26) radioactivity traces recent nucleosynthesis throughout the Galaxy, and is known to be produced in massive stars and novae. The map from its decay gamma-ray line suggests mas…
