TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
The window of TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics was opened less than two decades ago, when the Crab Nebula was detected for the first time. After several years of development, the technique used by imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes like HESS, MAGIC or VERITAS, is now allowing to conduct sensitive observations in the TeV regime. Water Cherenkov instruments like Milagro are also providing the fir...
متن کاملGamma ray astrophysics: the EGRET results
Cosmic gamma rays provide insight into some of the most dynamic processes in the Universe. At the dawn of a new generation of gamma-ray telescopes, this review summarizes results from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the principal predecessor mission studying high-energy photons in the 100 MeV energy range. EGRET viewed a gammaray sky do...
متن کاملCurrent Topics in Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
This paper reports on recent progress toward unraveling the origin of gamma-ray bursts. It is concluded that neutron-star binaries are one of the few remaining candidates. A model is proposed based upon general relativistic hydrodynamic studies which indicate a new physical process by which to power a gamma-ray burst. Relativistically driven compression, heating, and collapse of the individual ...
متن کاملIntegral: the International Gamma-ray Astrophysics Laboratory
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is dedicated to the ne spec-troscopy ((E: 2 keV FWHM @ 1 MeV) and ne imaging (angular resolution: 12 0 FWHM) of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy range 15 keV to 10 MeV. The scientiic payload consists of two gamma-ray instruments and two monitors: the Ge spectrometer (SPI) and the CdTe/CsI imager (IBIS); the X-ray monitor (J...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Line Astrophysics and Stellar Nucleosynthesis: Perspectives for INTEGRAL
Nuclear γ-ray lines constitute the most genuine diagnostic tool of nuclear astrophysics, since they allow for an unambiguous identification of isotopic species. Continuous improvement in instrumentation led to the discovery of several radioactive species in the past 15 years (Al, Co, Co, Ti) in various astrophysical sites (SN1987A and SN1991T, Cas-A, the Milky Way disk). These discoveries boost...
