Scientific paper

The imaging characteristics of Compton telescopes are described and an algorithm for the generation of sky maps (the pi method) which has been successfully applied to data from different Compton telescopes is presented. The pi skymap method is designed to project Compton telescope data into the image plane with minimal distortions. The pi method was tested and verified for calibration data and Monte Carlo simulated data. It was successfully applied to flight data, making it possible for unknown regions of the MeV gamma-ray sky to be explored.
