Thank you INTEGRAL (first part)

The work, dreams, fears and discoveries of a scientist on duty: very personal travel notes by Adamantia Paizis, one of the scientists of the revolutionary, and recently decommissioned, INTEGRAL satellite.

ESA's Integral gamma-ray gazer gasps its last.

After almost 23 years on the job, European Space Agency's (ESA) International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (Integral) is set to make its final observations.

Mission accomplished for #Integral, #ESA’s #gammaray telescope. After 22 years of operations in #space, the #telescope ends its observations today.

Teamwork makes the dream work

A rare #gammaray outburst from #M87's powerful jet was observed in a recent campaign by various ground-based and space #telescopes

"Kai Hansen's attempt to recapture I Want Out" is what someone on another site called Send Me a Sign

and i can hear it in the chorus

Nach längerer Zeit mal wieder das Gammaspektrometer via Soundkarte in Betrieb genommen. Mir fiel dann ein, dass ich noch jede Menge getrocknete Pilze aus dem Wald hier um die Ecke habe.

Einmal den Marinelli-Becher locker gefüllt, Messung gestartet… nicht ganz 40 min später: Fetter Cs-137-Peak. Tschernobyl-Reste im Wald lassen noch immer grüßen…

Die schwarzen Balken sind die Livedaten, die rote Kurve ist der Hintergrund.

Three Cherenkov telescopes of the LST class are currently being built on the island of La Palma - one already exists. Eventually there will be four LSTs. With a mirror diameter of 23 meters they specialize in observations of low-energy gamma radiation. Along with several middle-sized telescopes planned for this site, there will be more telescopes of different sizes in Chile. Together, they form the Cherenkov Telescope Array: We 'll keep you posted!
