Tgrs Observations of Gamma-ray Lines from Novae. I. Limits on the Positron Annihilation Line in Five Individual Novae
The Transient Gamma Ray Spectrometer (TGRS) on board the WIND spacecraft has spent most of the interval 1995–1997 in a high-altitude orbit where γ-ray backgrounds are low. Its high-resolution Ge spectrometer is thus able to detect weak lines which are slightly offset from stronger background features. One such line is predicted from nucleosynthesis in classical novae, where β-decays on a time-s...
متن کاملLower Limits on Lorentz Factors in Gamma Ray Bursts
As is well-known, the requirement that gamma ray bursts (GRB’s) be optically thin to high energy photons yields a lower limit on the Lorentz factor (γ) of the expansion. In this paper, we provide a simple derivation of the lower limit on γ due to the annihilation of photon pairs, and correct the errors in some of the previous calculations of this limit. We also derive a second limit on γ due to...
متن کاملLimits on Nuclear Gamma-Ray Emission from Orion
The discovery of -ray line emission in the 3 { 7 MeV range from the Orion complex was recently reported (Bloemen et al. 1994). The observed Compton Telescope (COMPTEL) spectrum suggested that the emission results from the de-excitation of excited states of C and O. We report on a search for these lines using the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Obse...
متن کاملRobust Limits on Lorentz Violation from Gamma-Ray Bursts
We constrain the possibility of a non-trivial refractive index in free space corresponding to an energy-dependent velocity of light: c(E) ≃ c0(1 − E/M), where M is a mass scale that might represent effect of quantum-gravitational space-time foam, using the arrival times of sharp features observed in the intensities of radiation with different energies from a large sample of gamma-ray bursters (...
متن کاملGamma-ray Production in Supernova Remnants
Supernova remnants are widely believed to be a principal source of galactic cosmic rays, produced by diffusive shock acceleration in the environs of the remnant’s expanding shock. This review discusses recent modelling of how such energetic particles can produce gamma-rays via interactions with the remnants’ ambient interstellar medium, specifically via neutral pion decay, bremsstrahlung and in...
