Scientific paper

The imaging Compton telescope (COMPTEL) experiment on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) is designed to image celestial gamma radiation in the energy range from 0.75-30 MeV within a field of view of 1 steradian. It can locate stronger point sources with an accuracy better than 0.5 deg and is capable of mapping diffuse emission as well. The Galactic-center region was observed by COMPTEL for several 2-week periods in 1991/1992. These observations show evidence for 1.8 MeV line emission along the Galactic disk (attributed to radioactive Al-26), extending over at least 40 degrees in longitude.
