Description
The International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory has been launched in 2002 to observed the Universe at energies between a few keV to a few MeV. Among the objectives was the study of gamma-ray lines, probing, among others, specific nucleosynthesis processes that occur in stars. I present a review of the observations performed by INTEGRAL in this respect, and discuss them in relation with the astrophysical sites at the origin of those gamma-ray nuclei.
