Integral: the Current Status
نویسنده
چکیده
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is dedicated to the fine spectroscopy (∆E: 2 keV FWHM @ 1.3 MeV) and fine imaging (angular resolution: 12 FWHM) of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy range 15 keV to 10 MeV with concurrent source monitoring in the X-ray (3 35 keV) and optical (V, 550 nm) range. The mission is conceived as an observatory led by ESA with contributions from Russia and NASA. The INTEGRAL observatory will provide to the science community at large an unprecedented combination of imaging and spectroscopy over a wide range of energies. Most of the observing time will be open to the scientific community. This paper summarises the key scientific goals of the mission, the current development status of the payload and spacecraft and it will give an overview of the science ground segment including data centre, science operations and the key elements of the observing programme.

متن کاملMultistep collocation method for nonlinear delay integral equations
The main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear Volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. These methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. Also, we analyze the convergence of the...

متن کاملمدل بسته جریان - ولتاژ در ترانزیستورهای نانولوله کربنی آلاییده
In this paper a compact current-voltage model for MOSFET-like Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET-like CNFET) is presented. To model these devices the one-dimensional drain/source current equation obtained from Landauer approach must be solved self-consistently with the equation relates the Fermi surface and carrier concentration. Also, numerically solve of the integral over densit...
