Scientific paper

The 5th INTEGRAL workshop "The INTEGRAL Universe" was held at the premises of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften in Munich, Germany, from February 16 - 20, 2004. The workshop was attended by over 230 scientists from all over the world. The aim of the workshop was twofold: to bring the scientists together who are using data from the INTEGRAL mission and to present first results which were obtained by the four INTEGRAL instruments during the first 18 months of operation. It was for the first time after launch that INTEGRAL results were presented and discussed in a broader scientific context and compared with results obtained with other instruments at different wavelengths (especially in the optical, infrared and radio). Naturally the results concentrated mainly on the hard X-ray regime since photons are plentiful and the sensitivity of the INTEGRAL instruments is best there. But also very interesting early results at low-energy gamma-rays, especially on gamma-ray lines, were presented. Because of INTEGRAL?s ability to measure and localize gamma-ray bursts quickly, this topic also drew a lot of attention and stimulating results were presented. The following list emphasizes the scientific importance of the topics which were covered by 6 invited, 1 special and 64 contributed talks as well as about 180 posters:
+ Nucleosynthesis and gamma-ray line spectroscopy
+ Pulsars
+ X-ray binaries (with neutron stars and black holes)
+ Interstellar continuum emission
+ AGN (Seyferts and Blazars)
+ Clusters of galaxies
+ Cosmic background radiation
+ Gamma-ray bursts
+ Unidentified gamma-ray sources
+ Solar flare gamma-rays
+ Data analysis (posters only)
* Future instruments and missions (posters only)
