Scientific paper

COMPTEL, the imaging telescope on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, has detected 1.809MeV gamma-ray line emission attributed to radioactive ^26^Al from the nearby Vela region. The location of the emission feature suggests an association with the Vela supernova remnant. The measured flux of 3.6(+-1.2)x10^-5^ph/cm^2^/s is consistent with theoretical estimates for nucleosynthesis of core collapse supernovae, if the distance to the Vela supernova remnant is below 500 pc.
