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…
INTEGRAL/SPI ground calibration
D. Attié, B. Cordier, M. Gros +30
Three calibration campaigns of the spectrometer SPI have been performed before launch in order to determine the instrument characteristics, such as the effective detection area, th…
INTEGRAL Spectrometer SPI's GRB detection capabilities. GRBs detected inside SPI's FoV and with the anticoincidence system ACS
A. von Kienlin, V. Beckmann, A. Rau +15
The spectrometer SPI, one of the two main instruments of the INTEGRAL spacecraft, offers significant gamma-ray burst detection capabilities. In its 35 deg (full width) field of vie…
First results from the INTEGRAL Galactic plane scans
C. Winkler, N. Gehrels, V. Schoenfelder +12
Scans of the Galactic plane performed at regular intervals constitute a key element of the guaranteed time observations of the INTEGRAL observing programme. These scans are done fo…
