The INTEGRAL mission

Abstract: Abstract. The ESA observatory INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) is dedicated to the fine spectroscopy (2.5 keV FWHM @ 1 MeV) and fine imaging (angular resolution: 12 arcmin 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 (Vband, 550 nm) energy ranges. INTEGRAL carries two main gamma-ray instruments, the spectrometer SPI (Vedrenne et al. (until June 2003) reaches ∼1800 ks in the Galactic pl… Show more

“…In the latter case, any accompanying radioactive decay emission will depend on ejecta mass and ejecta velocity for a given white dwarf mass (Hernanz et al 2002), which can be different for each subsequent outburst. Previous observations of emission up to 70 keV with Suzaku (Takei et al 2009) and the likely ∼0.1 MeV Compton/ OSSE detection of V382 Vel 1999 (Cheung et al 2015c) suggest extended timescale emission in classical novae and should motivate continuum emission searches with INTEGRAL (Winkler et al 2003) and ASTRO-H (Takahashi et al 2012;Coppi et al 2014) at later times than so far considered for the nuclear decay emission.…”

“…The INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL; Winkler et al 2003) is ESA's currently operational hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray space telescope. For the study of AXPs the low-energy detector of IBIS, called IS-GRI (20-300 keV, Lebrun et al 2003), has proven itself to be of great importance.…”

“…Now a number of surveys at energies higher than 10 keV are available to study this class of objects. The surveys performed by IBIS (Ubertini et al 2003) on board INTEGRAL (Winkler et al 2003), together with those of BAT, provide the best sample of Article published by EDP Sciences objects selected in the soft gamma-ray band to date (Bird et al 2007;Krivonos et al 2007). IBIS and BAT work in similar spectral bands, but concentrate on different parts of the sky: IBIS maps mainly the Galactic plane, while BAT focuses on observations at high Galactic latitudes.…”
