    An exceptionally bright flare from SGR 1806–20 and the origins of short-duration γ-ray bursts

    Soft-γ-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to be magnetars: strongly magnetized ...

    Monte Carlo study of detector concepts for the MAX Laue lens gamma-ray telescope

    MAX is a proposed Laue lens gamma-ray telescope taking advantage of Bragg diffraction in crystals to concentrate incident photons onto a distant detector. The Laue lens and the detector are carried by two sepa...

    Asymmetries in core-collapse supernovae from maps of radioactive 44Ti in Cassiopeia A

    The observation of non-uniformly distributed titanium emission in the interior of Cassiopeia A, a core-collapse supernova, is an indicator of asymmetries in the stellar explosion and provides strong evidence f...

    Background for a gamma-ray satellite on a low-Earth orbit

    The different background components in a low-Earth orbit have been modeled in the 10 keV to 100 GeV energy range. The model is based on data from previous instruments and it considers both primary and secondar...
