Scientific paper

The COMPTEL telescope aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory has put MeV γ-rays into the midst of astronomy. Among recent highlights are the discovery of intense MeV emission from blazar-type active galactic nuclei, the surprising non-detection of any Seyfert galaxy at MeV energies, the first image of the Milky Way in the light of the26Al line at 1.809 MeV (possibly including a detection of the Vela supernova remnant), the discovery of 3 7 MeV emission from the Orion complex, which can be identified with nuclear interaction lines of12C and16O at 4.44 and 6.13 MeV, the detection of the44Ti line at 1.15 MeV from the supernova remnant Cas A, and the first results on the spectrum and propagation of low-energy (1 100 MeV) cosmic-ray electrons.
