Constrains on the MeV emission from Jupiter:

Goal: Constraining MeV emission using planetary atmospheres as both reflectors of incident radiation and generators of photons in the MeV energy range through the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric material. We simulate these interactions to derive atmospheric photon yields, which can then be used to model the emission from planetary surfaces as observed with SPI.

 

Methods: MEGAlib Monte Carlo simulations, INTEGRAL/SPI data analysis, population synthesis.

 

Expanding the SPI catalog using 22 years of SPI data:

Goal: The INTEGRAL (INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Lab-oratory) satellite has been operating for 22 years from October 2002 until March 2025.We are constructing a pipeline for the creation of astronomical catalogues from raw data of the SPectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), intended for use by the wider community in future research. With 22 years of
data, we can improve source sensitivity and create a more extensive catalogue, than what was originally created in 2008.

Methods:  INTEGRAL/SPI data analysis
