    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.

    COMPTEL observations of GRO J1655-40 (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The transient black hole candidate GRO J1655-40 was shown elsewhere to eject matter at apparently superluminal velocities. The oriented scintillation spectrometer experiment (OSSE) spectra, measured during the X-ray outbursts, are consistent with a single power law up to 600 keV, with no evidence of a high energy cutoff. The detection of the flaring behavior of this source up to 10 MeV was claimed elsewhere. The Compton telescope (COMPTEL) observations in the 0.75 to 30 MeV band of this source are analyzed. The upper limits on the time averaged emission are presented and gamma ray flares are searched for. It is concluded that the COMPTEL data can neither confirm nor refute the claimed detection of a large gamma ray flare from this source. The gamma ray flare search in five years' worth of data did not reveal evidence for the occurrence of strong flares on timescales of two days.

    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.

    POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients (2008)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-06-06
    Description: POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarization between 2 and 500 keV. The payload consists of two wide FoV instruments: a Low Energy Polarimeter (LEP) capable of polarization measurements in the energy range from 2-15 keV and a high energy polarimeter (Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment - GRAPE) that will measure polarization in the 60-500 keV energy range. Spectra will be measured from 2 keV up to 1 MeV. The POET spacecraft provides a zenith-pointed platform for maximizing the exposure to deep space. Spacecraft rotation will provide a means of effectively dealing with systematics in the polarization response. POET will provide sufficient sensitivity and sky coverage to measure statistically significant polarization for up to 100 GRBs in a two-year mission. Polarization data will also be obtained for solar flares, pulsars and other sources of astronomical interest.

    Few arc-minute and keV resolutions with the TIGRE Compton telescope (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-17
    Description: The tracking and imaging gamma ray experiment (TIGRE) Compton telescope concept can provide an angular resolution of a few arcmin, an energy resolution of a few keV and high sensitivity, while providing the wide field of view necessary for surveying and monitoring observations. Silicon and CdZnTe strip detectors are used to detect Compton pair events and determine their incident directions and energies. Above 400 keV, Compton recoil electrons are tracked through successive layers of thin silicon strip detectors. Compton scattered photons are detected with CdZnTe strip detectors. Pair electrons and positrons are tracked to provide high sensitivity observations in the 10 to 100 MeV range. Polarization studies are performed with large angle Compton scatter events. The TIGRE concept and development status are described.
