The sky distribution of 511 keV positron annihilation line emission as measured with INTEGRAL/SPI
G. Weidenspointner, J. Knoedlseder, P. Jean +10
The imaging spectrometer SPI on board ESA's INTEGRAL observatory provides us with an unprecedented view of positron annihilation in our Galaxy. The first sky maps in the 511 keV an…
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 all-sky distribution of 511 keV electron-positron annihilation emission
J. Knödlseder, P. Jean, V. Lonjou +11
We present a map of 511 keV electron-positron annihilation emission, based on data accumulated with the SPI spectrometer aboard ESA's INTEGRAL gamma-ray observatory, that covers ap…
SPI observations of positron annihilation radiation from the 4th galactic quadrant: sky distribution
G. Weidenspointner, V. Lonjou, J. Knoedlseder +14
During its first year in orbit the INTEGRAL observatory performed deep exposures of the Galactic Center region and scanning observations of the Galactic plane. We report on the sta…
SPI/INTEGRAL observation of 1809 keV gamma-ray line emission from the Cygnus X region
J. Knödlseder, M. Valsesia, M. Allain +10
We present first results on the observation of 1809 keV gamma-ray line emission from the Cygnus X region with the SPI imaging spectrometer. Our analysis is based on data from the p…
Al(26) Studies with INTEGRAL's Spectrometer SPI
R. Diehl, K. Kretschmer, G. Lichti +13
Al(26) radioactivity traces recent nucleosynthesis throughout the Galaxy, and is known to be produced in massive stars and novae. The map from its decay gamma-ray line suggests mas…
