COMPTEL data analysis using GammaLib and ctools
Jürgen Knödlseder, Werner Collmar, Manon Jarry +1
More than 20 years after the end of NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory mission, the data collected by its Imaging Compton Telescope (COMPTEL) still provide the most comprehensive…
Exploring the MeV Sky with a Combined Coded Mask and Compton Telescope: The Galactic Explorer with a Coded Aperture Mask Compton Telescope (GECCO)
Elena Orlando, Eugenio Bottacini, Alexander Moiseev +33
The sky at MeV energies is currently poorly explored. Here we present an innovative mission concept that builds on and improves past and currently proposed missions at such energie…
COMPTEL Reloaded: a heritage project in MeV astronomy
Andrew Strong, Werner Collmar
COMPTEL was the Compton telescope on NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory CGRO launched in April 1991 and which was re-entered in June 2000. COMPTEL covered the energy range 0.75 t…
Challenges in reconciling observations and theory of the brightest high-energy flare ever of 3C 279
Bottacini, Markus Böttcher, Elena Pian +2
Recent high-energy missions have allowed keeping watch over blazars in flaring states, which provide deep insights into the engine powered by supermassive black holes. However, hav…
3C 279 in Outburst in June 2015: A Broadband-SED Study Based on the INTEGRAL Detection
Eugenio Bottacini, Markus Boettcher, Elena Pian +1
Blazars radiate from radio through gamma-ray frequencies thereby being ideal targets for multifrequency studies. Such studies allow constraining the properties of the emitting jet.…
LS 5039 - the counterpart of the unidentified MeV source GRO J1823-12
W. Collmar, S. Zhang
The COMPTEL experiment on CGRO observed the gamma-ray sky at energies from 0.75 MeV to 30 MeV between April 1991 and June 2000. COMPTEL detected many gamma-ray sources, among them…
