COMPTEL is the first imaging telescope to explore the MeV gamma-ray range (0.7 to 30 MeV). At present, it is performing a complete sky survey. Targets of special interest in the COMPTEL energy range are radio pulsars, X-ray binaries, novae, supernovae, supernova remnants, mulecular clouds, the interstellar medium within the Milky Way, active galactic nuclei, and the diffuse cosmic background radiation. The data from the first half year of the mission have demonstrated that COMPTEL performs as expected. The Crab is clearly seen at its proper position in the first images of the anticenter region of the galaxy. The Crab …

Physics & Astronomy

The Galactic anticenter region including the Crab nebula has been observed with the COMPTEL gamma-ray telescope on the Gamma Ray Observatory. A map of the region in the 1-30 MeV energy range is presented. The total spectrum of the Crab is derived as well as that of the pulsed and unpulsed components. Upper limits on the pulsar Geminga are also presented.

Physics & Astronomy

The COMPTEL gamma-ray telescope, sensitive in the range 0.7-30 MeV, has viewed the Crab and Vela Pulsars. The light curves observed from both objects have been derived in several energy bands. Features of these light curves and some spectral details are discussed.
