Gamma-line emission from radioactivities produced in supernovae

S. E. Woosley; Francis Timmes

Gamma-line emission from radioactivities produced in supernovae

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

A brief review is presented of the major targets for gamma-ray spectroscopy of supernovae. The chief utility of such observations is the new insight they provide into the mechanisms of supernova explosions, the distribution and nature of star forming regions in our Galaxy, and our Galaxy's nucleosynthetic history. The discussion centers on two short lived species, ⁵⁶Co and ⁴⁴Ti, which might be seen in individual events, and two longer lived species, ²⁶Al and ⁶⁰Fe, which are the generally seen as the cumulative production of many supernovae.
