BAT X-ray Survey - I: Methodology and X-ray Identification
M. Ajello, J. Greiner, G. Kanbach +3
We applied the Maximum Likelihood method, as an image reconstruction algorithm, to the BAT X-ray Survey (BXS). This method was specifically designed to preserve the full statistica…
Imaging the Gamma-Ray Sky with SPI aboard INTEGRAL
Jürgen Knödlseder, Georg Weidenspointner, Pierre Jean +6
The spectrometer SPI on INTEGRAL allows for the first time simultaneous imaging of diffuse and point-like emission in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray regime. To fully exploit the…
Inverse-Compton emission from halos around stars
Elena Orlando, Andrew W. Strong
Inverse Compton scattering by relativistic electrons produces a major component of the diffuse emission from the Galaxy. The photon fields involved are the cosmic microwave backgro…
Isotopic composition of cosmic-ray sources
Igor V. Moskalenko, Andrew W. Strong, Troy A. Porter
We use the GALPROP code and the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) data to derive the cosmic ray (CR) isotopic composition at the sources. The composition is derived for two propa…
Soft gamma-ray galactic ridge emission as unveiled by SPI aboard INTEGRAL
Jürgen Knödlseder, Vincent Lonjou, Georg Weidenspointner +6
The origin of the soft gamma-ray (200 keV - 1 MeV) galactic ridge emission is one of the long-standing mysteries in the field of high-energy astrophysics. Population studies at low…
The Diffuse Galactic Gamma-Ray Emission Model for GLAST LAT
T. A. Porter, S. W. Digel, I. A. Grenier +2
Diffuse emission from the Milky Way dominates the gamma-ray sky. About 80% of the high-energy luminosity of the Milky Way comes from processes in the interstellar medium. The Galac…
