The INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory
INTEGRAL,
launched in October 2002 aboard a Russian Proton rocket, is
providing a new insight into the most violent and exotic objects of the
Universe, such as neutron stars, active galactic nuclei and
supernovae. INTEGRAL is also helping us to understand processes such as
the formation of new chemical elements and the mysterious gamma-ray
bursts, the most energetic phenomena in the Universe. Environments of
extreme temperature and density, near the event-horizons of black holes,
are a major topic of study with INTEGRAL.
