Abstract
We have evaluated the shape of the 26 Al line using a galactic disk rotation curve and assuming various galactic distribution of radioactive aluminum. The line shape depends on galactic longitude, detector opening angle, and the assumed aluminum distribution. For a detector of 20° aperture and 2.5 keV resolution, the shift of the line peak can be as large as 0.4 keV. Such a shift could be detected with the proposed Nuclear Astrophysics explorer.Keywords
