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…
COMPTEL Observations of the Blazar PKS 1622-297 during a Gamma-Ray High State in 1995
S. Zhang, W. Collmar, V. Schonfelder +6
PKS 1622-297 was detected as a source of gamma-rays by the EGRET experiment at energies above 100 MeV during a gamma-ray outburst June and July 1995. We analyzed the COMPTEL data (…
Possibility of the detection of classical novae with the shield of the INTEGRAL-spectrometer SPI
P. Jean, J. Gomez-Gomar, M. Hernanz +7
The shield of the INTEGRAL spectrometer provides a large detection area with a wide field-of-view. Calculations have been performed to check whether the temporal analysis of the co…
A New Look at Image Reconstruction of COMPTEL 1.8 MeV Data
J. Knodlseder, D. Dixon, R. Diehl +7
Deconvolving COMPTEL gamma-ray data into images presents a major methodological challenge. We developed a new algorithm called Multiresolution Regularized Expectation Maximization…
Assessment of Tracers of 1.8 MeV Emission
J. Knodlseder, R. Diehl, U. Oberlack +6
We examined the question of a possible correlation between 1.8 MeV emission and intensity distributions observed at other wavelengths by comparing the 1.8 MeV data to an extended s…
COMPTEL Observations of AGN at MeV-Energies
W. Collmar, K. Bennett, H. Bloemen +9
The COMPTEL experiment aboard CGRO, exploring the previously unknown sky at MeV-energies, has so far detected 10 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN): 9 blazars and the radio galaxy Centau…
