Measurement of the low energy 25Mg(p,γ)26Al resonances [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
The cosmic 1.809 MeV γ-ray emitted by the radioactive nucleus 26Al in the Galaxy is one of the key observation targets of the γ-ray astronomy. The 26Al is mainly produced by the 25Mg(p,γ)26Al reaction in the stellar Mg-Al reaction cycle.

Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB 970616 error box [PDF]

, 1999
We report on near-infrared and optical observations of the GRB 970616 error box and of the X-ray sources discovered by ASCA and ROSAT in the region. No optical transient was found either within the IPN band or in the X-ray error boxes, similarly to other
