Whole Sky Maps Using 5 Years of Comptel Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
During 5 years of operation COMPTEL has collected data covering the entire sky, with exposures ranging from weeks to months. Full sky maps have already been published using data from the rst 3 years of the mission; the additional information now a v ail-able represent a signiicant addition to the COMP-TEL data base and allows us to consolidate previous results. We present the most recent whole-sky maps and discuss their implications and limitations.

We use all COMPTEL data from the beginning of the CGROmission (April ’91) up to the end of CGRO Cycle 6 (November ’97) to carry out all-sky point source analyses in the four standard COMPTEL energy bands for different time periods. We apply our standard maximum-likelihood method to generate all-sky significance and flux maps for point sources by subtracting off the diffuse emission components v...
متن کاملA multiwavelength comparison of COMPTEL 1.8 MeV 26Al line data
We search for correlations between 1.809 MeV γ-ray line emission, attributed to the radioactive decay of 26Al, and intensity distributions observed at other wavelengths by confronting CGRO COMPTEL 1.8 MeV data with an extended database of all-sky maps. The database contains 31 all-sky maps, covering the entire explored wavelength range from the radio band up to high-energy gamma-rays. Different...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of Diiuse Galactic Continuum Gamma Rays Measured by Comptel
Diiuse Galactic continuum-ray emission in the 0.75-30 MeV range from the whole sky has been studied using COMPTEL data from the rst 3 years of of the Compton Observatory. The imaging properties of COMPTEL enable spatial analysis of the-ray distribution using model tting. A model based on gas and inverse-Compton distributions in the Galaxy has been used to derive the intensity spectrum of the-ra...
متن کاملCOMPTEL observations of the γ-ray blazars 3C 454.3 and CTA 102 during the CGRO mission
We have investigated the MeV behaviour of the γ-ray blazars 3C 454.3 and CTA 102 by analyzing all COMPTEL observations of this sky region during the complete CGRO mission. Both sources are detected by COMPTEL at the upper COMPTEL energies, although their flux estimates may be uncertain by possible minor contributions of nearby unidentified EGRET γ-ray sources. While CTA 102 was only detected at...
متن کاملImaging 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...
