摘要:
The HEXAGONE balloon‐borne spectrometer has flown on 22 May 1989. HEXAGONE is a high resolution gamma‐ray spectrometer and consists of an array of twelve cooled germanium detectors. One of the observed targets was the Galactic Center and its vicinity (field of view 19° at 511 keV) and it was seen during 6.3 hours. The 511 keV annihilation line was observed with a flux of (8.88±2.67)×10−4&ggr;cm−2 s−1, a width 1.09+1.38, −1.09 keV and its centroid at 511.54±0.38 keV. The results are consistent with an upper limit of 8.3×104K for the temperature of the annihilation medium of the positrons.
