Scientific paper

The imaging Compton telescope, COMPTEL, is one of four gamma ray detectors on the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO) which is scheduled to be launched in early 1990. COMPTEL is sensitive to gamma rays from 1 to 30 MeV with a field-of-view of approximately 1 steradian. As part of the Observatory, COMPTEL is designed and built to measure the gamma ray flux from numerous cosmic sources. These sources include a wide variety of objects ranging from the nearby Sun to quasars at cosmological distances, both pointlike and extended in space, which are steady and variable in time. We report here on the scientific objectives of the mission which can be addressed by the COMPTEL instrument.
