Gamma-Ray Line Spectroscopy Results from COMPTEL
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Comptel aboard NASA's Compton Observatory has led to a major progress in the field of astronomical gamma-ray line spectroscopy. Highlights are the all-sky map of the 1.8 MeV line from radioactive 26Al, the first detection of the 1.156 MeV line from radioactive 44Ti from a Supernova remnant (Cas A), and the detection of excessive MeV emission from the Orion complex that may be ascribed to excitation of 12C and 16O nuclei.
