COSI: From Calibrations and Observations to All-sky Images

Andreas Zoglauer, Thomas Siegert, Alexander Lowell +13

The soft MeV gamma-ray sky, from a few hundred keV up to several MeV, is one of the least explored regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The most promising technology to access…

Imaging the 511 keV positron annihilation sky with COSI

Thomas Siegert, Steven E. Boggs, John A. Tomsick +10

The balloon-borne Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) had a successful 46-day flight in 2016. The instrument is sensitive to photons in the energy range - MeV. Compton t…

The Compton Spectrometer and Imager

John A. Tomsick, Andreas Zoglauer, Clio Sleator +21

In this Astro2020 APC White Paper, we describe a Small Explorer (SMEX) mission concept called the Compton Spectrometer and Imager. COSI is a Compton telescope that covers the bandp…

Ultra-heavy cosmic-ray science--Are r-process nuclei in the cosmic rays produced in supernovae or binary neutron star mergers?

W. R. Binns, M. H. Israel, B. F. Rauch +25

The recent detection of 60Fe in the cosmic rays provides conclusive evidence that there is a recently synthesized component (few MY) in the GCRs (Binns et al. 2016). In addition, t…
