Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract Despite the inherent observational difficulties gamma‐ray astronomy has contributed substantially to our knowledge of the universe during the last roughly 20 years. The GRANAT mission and the Compton Observatory have had a remarkable impact with e.g. the discovery of new sources involving stellar or massive black holes, the mapping of gamma‐ray line diffuse galactic emissions, the localization of thousands of gamma‐ray bursts. Meanwhile the next‐generation mission INTEGRAL is scheduled for launch in 2001/2002.
