Gamma rays and interstellar gas in the Cepheus region: A new gamma-ray source?
Grenier, I. A.; Lebrun, F.
A recent CO survey of the Cepheus Flare region (100°<=1<=141°, 8°<=b<=22°) has allowed a detailed study of the diffuse gamma-ray emission and the gas content of this nearby region. The comparison of the HI and CO observations with the COS-B gamma-ray data yields estimates of the N(H2)/WCO ratio in this molecular complex and …
Highlights from the COS-B mission
Hermsen, W.
The European Space Agency's high-energy (E>50 MeV) gamma-ray observatory COS-B was operational from August 1975 to April 1982 and in that time made 65 observations of about 1 month duration and with a field-of-view of approximately 0.4 sr each. The high counting statistics achieved over the total mission allowed, for the first time, a detailed …
Gamma-ray constraints on the Galactic halo
Bloemen, J. B. G. M.
Some findings from recent COS-B analyses of the diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission are briefly summarized, with emphasis on their impact for our understanding of the Galactic cosmic-ray halo.
