TL;DR: The Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (COMPTEL) as discussed by the authors is a gamma-ray line spectrometer with an angular resolution between 1° and 2° within a large field of view of about 1 steradian.

TL;DR: In this article, the Compton scattering collision in a first detector followed by an interaction in a second detector element was used to perform a very sensitive survey of the y-ray sky, and extreme care was taken to minimize background so that the detection limits of COMPTEL will be dominated by source counting statistics.

The EXOSAT Mission
TL;DR: How the main thrust of the mission and in particular the payload complement has evolved has evolved is shown, which shows how the technical advantages offered by Ariane could not be fully exploited.

Performance characteristics of a gas scintillation spectrometer for X-ray astronomy
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal electrical parameters of a spherical electric field gas scintillation spectrometer for X-ray astronomy were determined using a collimated 55Fe 5.9 keV source.
