IGR J08408--4503: a new recurrent Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient
D. Gotz, M. Falanga, F. Senziani +3
The supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 was discovered by INTEGRAL on May 15, 2006, during a bright flare. The source shows sporadic recurrent short bright flares, reac…
Type Ia Supernova Rate in the Galactic Center Region
Stephane Schanne, Michel Casse, Patrick Sizun +2
According to recent analyses of the type-Ia supernova rate as a function of redshift, delayed and prompt type-Ia supernovae (SN Ia) should explode respectively in the Galactic bulg…
Observing with a space-borne gamma-ray telescope: selected results from INTEGRAL
S. Schanne
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, i.e. the INTEGRAL satellite of ESA, in orbit since about 3 years, performs gamma-ray observations of the sky in the 15 keV to 8…
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…
The ECLAIRs micro-satellite mission for gamma-ray burst multi-wavelength observations
S. Schanne, J. -L. Atteia, D. Barret +17
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB), at least those with a duration longer than a few seconds are the most energetic events in the Universe and occur at cosmological distances. The ECLAIRs micr…
Radioactive 26Al and massive stars in the Galaxy
Roland Diehl, Hubert Halloin, Karsten Kretschmer +13
Gamma-rays from radioactive 26Al (half life ~7.2 10^5 yr) provide a 'snapshot' view of ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. The Galaxy is relatively transparent to such gamma-ray…
