The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope discovers the Pulsar in the Young Galactic Supernova-Remnant CTA 1

Fermi LAT Collaboration

Energetic young pulsars and expanding blast waves (supernova remnants, SNRs) are the most visible remains after massive stars, ending their lives, explode in core-collapse supernov…

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 sky distribution of positronium annihilation continuum emission measured with SPI/INTEGRAL

G. Weidenspointner, C. R. Shrader, J. Knoedlseder +15

We present a measurement of the sky distribution of positronium (Ps) annihilation continuum emission obtained with the SPI spectrometer on board ESA's INTEGRAL observatory. The onl…

SPI energy calibration

V. Lonjou, J. Knodlseder, J. P. Roques +7

The status of the SPI energy calibration after the first year of INTEGRAL operations is reported. We have studied the gain variations and we have demonstrated that the most importa…
