The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory was launched on April 5, 1991, carrying the imaging Compton telescope COMPTEL. Since its activation on April 25, 1991, COMPTEL has observed several gamma-ray bursts in its 1-sr field of view. The strongest of these bursts was observed on May 3, 1991. Event data over 0.8 MeV to 30 MeV as well as time resolved spectra over 0.1 MeV to 10 MeV have been recorded. For the first time, a direct single-telescope MeV image of a cosmic gamma-ray burst has been produced. The burst is located at (l,b) = (171.8 deg, 6.4 deg) with a statistical …

A balloon-borne coded-aperture telescope, measuring gamma-ray photons in the 160 keV to 9.3 MeV range, was used to observe the Cygnus region of the sky on October 1 and 2, 1984. In the 2-9.3-MeV band, evidence is found for a hard spectral component with a mean flux level at the top of the atmosphere of 7.4 + or - 2.5 x 10 to the -7th photons/sq cm per s per keV, inconsistent with the predictions of the inverse Compton models normally used to describe the X-ray emission. Both Cyg X-1 and Cyg X-3 could be observed simultaneously with the telescope. …

The region of the Galactic anticenter, including the Crab Nebula, was observed during a balloon flight of the University of New Hampshire Directional Gamma-Ray Telescope employing the coded-aperture imaging technique to image celestial gamma-radiation between 160 keV and 9.3 MeV. The background systematics are treated with a simple and relatively straightforward correction procedure. The results demonstrate that the coded-aperture procedure is a viable approach for imaging not only point sources of radiation, but also extended sources of emission. The results for the Crab's photon spectrum are consistent with a power-law spectrum. Upper limits on the flux levels of line emission …
