Abstract
A major objective of the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on NASA’s COMPTON Observatory is the observation of gamma ray line emission from a variety of astronomical objects. Gamma ray lines are of particular interest because they provide unique information on the production, relative abundances, acceleration and interactions of the nuclear component of matter. In this paper, we present some of the initial results obtained by OSSE on observations of line gamma-ray emission from solar flares, the galactic center region, and from supernovae.
