Centaurus A: Exploring the Nature of the Hard X-Ray/Soft Gamma-Ray Emission with INTEGRAL

The question of the origin of the hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray emission in Centaurus A (Cen A) persists despite decades of observations. Results from X-ray instruments suggest a jet origin since the implied electron temperature ( kT _e ) would cause runaway pair production in the corona. In contrast, i...
