Parker, Quentin A.; Ritter, Andreas; Pal, Partha Sarathi +4 more

The low-energy γ -ray (0.1-30 MeV) sky has been relatively unexplored since the decommissioning of the COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite in 2000. However, the study of this part of the energy spectrum (the "MeV gap") is crucial for addressing numerous unresolved questions in high-energy and multi-messenger as…
