The COMPTEL experiment aboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory is designed to image celestial gamma-radiation in the energy range from 0.7-30 MeV. With a field of view of 1 sr it is capable of locating strong point sources with an accuracy of better than 0.5 deg. From June 15 to 28, 1991 and a second time from October 3 to 17, 1991 the region containing the supernova SN 1991T was observed by COMPTEL. Here preliminary results from these observations are presented, with special attention to a search for gamma-ray line emission from the supernova.

The COMPTEL experiment aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, sensitive in the energy range from about 0.7 to 30 MeV, observed the high-latitude region containing 3C 273 and 3C 279 during a 2-week period in June, 1991. A search for sources using a maximum likelihood analysis revealed two statistically significant point-like excesses, the positions of which are consistent with those of 3C 273 and 3C 279. These sources are the first QSOs detected at MeV energies. In the COMPTEL energy domain their spectra appear to be greatly different. A comparison with earlier and simultaneous measurements in neighboring energy ranges indicates …

The COMPTEL instrument on GRO is designed to image celestial gamma radiation in the approximately 0.7-30 MeV region of nuclear lines. Within a large field of view of about 1 sr its angular resolution of about 1 deg enables mapping of extended emission and location of (strong) point sources to an accuracy of better than 0.5 deg. The Galactic center region was observed by COMPTEL for a 2-week period in July 1991. Here we report the detection of the line at 1.8 MeV attributed to Al-26, addressing in particular the extent of the emission and the 1.8 MeV line flux.

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.

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.
