Abstract

This review focuses on the conditions for γ-ray line production in the most interesting astronomical objects, in light of the planned experiments: ‘Gamma-1’, ‘GRO’, ‘Sigma’, ‘GRASP’, and others. Among these objects are the Sun, the galactic center region, molecular and dust clouds, accreting and exploding stars.
