Abstract: | The imaging Compton telescope COMPTEL will be flown on the NASA Gamma-Ray Observatory at the beginning of the next decade. The instrument with its wide field of view and improved angular resolution will provide the first sky survey at MeV energies, as well as deep studies of galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray point sources and diffuse emission. The hardware preparations are close to completion, with calibrations to be done in 1987 prior to integration of the instrument onto the observatory carrying 3 other gamma ray detectors. |
