Gamma Ray Line Observational Results from OSSE
A major objective of the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on NASA's COMPTON Observatory is the observation of gamma ray line emission from a variety of astronomical objects. Gamma ray lines are of particular interest because they provide unique information on the production, relative abundances, acceleration and interactions of the nuclear component of matter. In this paper...
متن کاملComptel Gamma-ray Study of the Crab Nebula
We reexamine the Crab nebula, using ve years of COMPTEL observations. A 30 bin 0.78{30 MeV spectrum is presented. It shows a spectral break at the edge of the COMPTEL energy range, and connects well to the EGRET spectrum, probably reeecting electron energy losses in the synchrotron emission scenario. Such a smooth continuum model alone may not be suucient to explain the observations. A weak bum...
متن کاملComptel Locations and Spectra of Gamma-ray Bursts
In three years of operation, COMPTEL has measured the locations (mean accuracy 1 ) and spectra (0.75{30 MeV) of 18 gamma-ray bursts and continues to observe new events every 1{2 months. The existing COMPTEL bursts have been analyzed as a group to study the smallscale angular distribution and MeV emission properties. Furthermore, measurements of individual strong bursts like GRB 930131 and GRB 9...
متن کاملThe Locations of Gamma-ray Bursts Measured by Comptel
The COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory is used to measure the locations of gamma-ray bursts through direct imaging of MeV photons. In a comprehensive search, we have detected and localized 29 bursts observed between 1991 April 19 and 1995 May 31. The average location accuracy of these events is 1.25◦ (1σ), including a systematic error of ∼0.5◦, which is verified through com...
متن کاملCOMPTEL Measurements of MeV Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra
We present results from the on-going spectral analysis of gamma-ray bursts measured by the COMPTEL instrument in its main Compton \Telescope" observing mode (0.75{30 MeV). Thus far, 18 bursts have been analyzed from three years (April 1991 { April 1994) of observations. The time-averaged spectra of these events above 1 MeV are all consistent with a simple power law model with spectral index in ...
