SPI observations of the diffuse 60Fe emission in the Galaxy

W. Wang, M. J. Harris, R. Diehl +12

Gamma-ray line emission from radioactive decay of 60Fe provides constraints on nucleosynthesis in massive stars and supernovae. The spectrometer SPI on board INTEGRAL has accumulat…

Detection of gamma-ray lines from interstellar 60Fe by the high resolution spectrometer SPI

M. J. Harris, J. Knodlseder, P. Jean +6

It is believed that core-collapse supernovae (CCSN), occurring at a rate about once per century, have seeded the interstellar medium with long-lived radioisotopes such as 60Fe (hal…
