The SPI instrument has been launched on-board the INTEGRAL observatory on October 17, 2002. SPI is a spectrometer devoted to the sky observation in the 20 keV-8 MeV energy range using 19 germanium detectors. The performance of the cryogenic…
With the launch of ESA's INTEGRAL satellite in october 2002, a gamma-ray observatory will become available to the scientific community that combines imaging and spectroscopic capacities in the 20 keV to 10 MeV energy range. In this paper,…
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, i.e. the INTEGRAL satellite of ESA, in orbit since about 3 years, performs gamma-ray observations of the sky in the 15 keV to 8 MeV energy range. Thanks to its imager IBIS, and in…
The spectrometer SPI on INTEGRAL allows for the first time simultaneous imaging of diffuse and point-like emission in the hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray regime. To fully exploit the capabilities of the instrument, we implemented the MREM…
Three calibration campaigns of the spectrometer SPI have been performed before launch in order to determine the instrument characteristics, such as the effective detection area, the spectral resolution and the angular resolution. Absolute…
The spectrometer SPI on board INTEGRAL is capable of high-resolution spectroscopic studies in the energy range 20keV to 8MeV for GRBs which occur within the fully coded field of view (16 degrees corner to corner). Six GRBs occurred within…
The spectrometer SPI is one of the main detectors of ESA's INTEGRAL mission. The instrument offers two interesting and valuable capabilities for the detection of the prompt emission of Gamma-ray bursts. Within a field of view of 16 degrees,…
INTEGRAL/SPI is a coded mask instrument observing since 2002 in the keV to MeV energy range, which covers the peak of the $\nu F\nu$ spectrum of most Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Since its launch in 2008, Fermi/GBM has been the primary…
INTEGRAL/SPI is a space-based coded mask telescope featuring a 19-element Germanium detector array for high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy, encapsulated in a scintillation detector assembly that provide a veto for background from charged…
The spectrometer SPI, one of the two main instruments of the INTEGRAL spacecraft, offers significant gamma-ray burst detection capabilities. In its 35 deg (full width) field of view SPI is able to localise gamma-ray bursts at a mean rate of…
The spectrometer SPI, one of the two main instruments of the INTEGRAL spacecraft, has strong capabilities in the Field of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) detections. In its 16 degree Field of view (FoV) SPI is able to trigger and to localize GRBs.…
ESA's INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) was launched on 17 Oct 2002 at 06:41 CEST. Since then, it has been providing long, uninterrupted observations (up to about 47 hr, or 170 ksec, per satellite orbit of 2.7 days)…
The Imager on Board Integral Satellite (IBIS) is the imaging instrument of the INTEGRAL satellite, the hard-X/soft-gamma ray ESA mission to be launched in 2001. It provides diagnostic capabilities of fine imaging (12' FWHM), source…

The gamma-ray astronomical observatory INTEGRAL, succesfully launched on 17th October 2002, carries two large gamma-ray telescopes. One of them is the coded-mask imaging gamma-ray telescope onboard the INTEGRAL satellite (IBIS) which…
The coded-mask spectrometer-telescope SPI on board the INTEGRAL observatory records photons in the energy range between 20 and 8000 keV. A robust and versatile method to model the dominating instrumental background (BG) radiation is…
SPI-ACS/INTEGRAL is one of the most sensitive orbital gamma-ray detectors in energy range above 80 keV. Since 2002 it registered several thousands of gamma-ray bursts, including the bursts associated with LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave…
The center of our Galaxy is a known strong source of electron-positron 511-keV annihilation radiation. Thus far, however, there have been no reliable detections of annihilation radiation outside of the central radian of our Galaxy. One of…
The ESA INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophyisics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is composed of two main instruments (IBIS and SPI) for the gamma-ray astrophysics (20 keV - 10 MeV), plus two monitors (JEM-X and OMC) for X-ray and optical counterparts.…
INTEGRAL is a hard X-ray/gamma-ray observatory for astrophysics (ESA) covering photon energies from 15 keV to 10 MeV. It was launched in 2002 and since then the BGO detectors of the Anti-Coincidence shield (ACS) of the SPI spectrometer have…
