Imaging the Gamma-ray Sky with Spi aboard Integral
The spectrometer SPI on INTEGRAL allows for the first time simultaneous imaging of diffuse and point-like emission in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray regime. To fully exploit the capabilities of the instrument, we implemented the MREM image deconvolution algorithm, initially developed for COMPTEL data analysis, to SPI data analysis. We present the performances of the algorithm by means of sim...
متن کاملINTEGRAL/IBIS 7-year All-Sky Hard X-Ray Survey
This paper is the second in a series devoted to the hard X-ray (17−60 keV) whole sky survey performed by the INTEGRAL observatory over seven years. Here we present a catalog of detected sources that includes 521 objects, 449 of which exceed a 5σ detection threshold on the time-averaged map of the sky, and 53 were detected in various subsamples of exposures. Among the identified sources with kno...
متن کاملINTEGRAL / IBIS all - sky survey in hard X - rays ⋆
We present results of an all-sky hard X-ray survey based on almost four years of observations with the IBIS telescope on board the INTEGRAL observatory. The dead time-corrected exposure of the survey is ∼ 33 Ms. Approximately 12% and 80% of the sky have been covered to limiting fluxes lower than 1 and 5 mCrab, respectively. Our catalog of detected sources includes 400 objects, 339 of which exce...
متن کاملINTEGRAL / SPI ground calibration
Three calibration campaigns of the spectrometer SPI have been performed before launch in order to determine the instrument characteristics, such as the effective detection area, the spectral resolution and the angular resolution. Absolute determination of the effective area has been obtained from simulations and measurements. At 1 MeV, the effective area is 65 cm 2 for a point source on the opt...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy imaging with INTEGRAL/SPI data
The application of the Maximum Entropy method for sky imaging with the SPI instrument on INTEGRAL is described. While intended primarily for extended emission, point sources are also mapped by this method. The technique is implemented as the program spiskymax in the data analysis distribution provided by the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre. We briefly introduce the method, describe the particular ...
