Abstract Building on our successful AO-6 and AO-7 observations, we propose a similar observational program dedicated to determining the longitude profile of the asymmetric positron annihilation line radiation from the inner Galaxy first reported by Weidenspointner et al., 2008. Crucial measurements to achieve this goal can be made by applying the successful chopping pointing strategy to fields at (l,b)= (+/-15deg,0deg), that cover both the inner disk as well as the outer bulge region, for a total of 5 Ms.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
