    New COMPTEL results on pulsar studies at MeV energies (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The Compton telescope (COMPTEL) onboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) detected the pulsar PSR B1951-32 at MeV energies, and found indications of a signal from PSR B0656+14. In the combined spectra from COMPTEL and the energetic gamma ray experiment telescope (EGRET) onboard CGRO, it can be seen that the maximum luminosities of these objects are reached in the COMPTEL energy range. These spectra can be compared with those from four other pulsars observed in MeV energies with COMPTEL. The spectral properties of five of the six pulsars, Vela, PSR B1509-58, PSR B1951-32 and PSR B0656+14, require breaks and bends at MeV energies. The sixth pulsar, the Crab pulsar, approximately follows a power law flux relation from keV to GeV energies. It is concluded that this spectral behavior may play a role in the discrimination between current gamma ray emission models.

    Evidence for COMPTEL detections of low-energy gamma rays from HVC complexes (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Observational evidence of extended MeV emissions that may be associated with high velocity clouds (HVCs) is reported on. Based on observations acquired between 1991 and 1996 with the Compton telescope (COMPTEL), evidence is found for intense gamma ray radiation at 0.75 to 3 MeV from the general direction of two HVC regions. One bright gamma ray excess is located between the HVC complexes M and A, adjacent to the Lockman hole and is seen to approximately cover a sky area of exceptionally low H I column densities. A second source is detected at the high velocity end of complex C near the Draco Nebula. Both gamma ray excesses appear to consist of a time variable source and a diffuse emission component. The enhanced diffuse soft X-rays seen by Rosat from both HVC regions may be closely related to the gamma ray emission in terms of bremsstrahlung arising from HVC interactions with the galactic disk or lower halo.

    New COMPTEL results on the Orion/Monoceros region (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Results from recent observations of the Orion/Monoceros region, acquired with the Compton telescope (COMPTEL), are summarized, confirming previously reported results of excessive 3 to 7 MeV emission which is probably due to nuclear de-excitation lines from C-12 and O-16 nuclei following energetic nuclear interactions. The emphasis is on findings concerning the extent of the emission region. It is found that the emission extends over the entire cloud complex, although it may result from a few localized source regions. A preliminary spectrum is presented which indicates that the emission is widely spread over the 3 to 7 MeV range, suggesting a dominantly broadline origin from energetic C and O nuclei. The spectrum shows features that may be due to the splitting of the C and O lines.
