TeV Gamma Ray Astronomy
The field of ground-based gamma ray astronomy has enjoyed rapid growth in recent years. As an increasing number of sources are detected at TeV energies, the field has matured and become a viable branch of modern astronomy. Lying at the uppermost end of the electromagnetic rainbow, TeV photons are always preciously few in number but carry essential information about the particle acceleration and...
متن کاملGamma-ray Line Astronomy *
Gamma-ray lines from radioactive isotopes, ejected into interstellar space by cosmic nucleosynthesis events, are observed with new space telescopes. The Compton Observatory had provided a sky survey for the isotopes 26 Al, detecting supernova radioactivity and the diffuse glow of long-lived radioactivity from massive stars in the Galaxy. High-resolution spectroscopy is now being exploited with ...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy
This paper summarizes recents results in γ-ray astronomy, most of which were derived with data from groundbased γ-ray detectors. Many of the contributions presented at this conference involve multiwavelength studies which combine ground-based γ-ray measurements with optical data or space-based X-ray and γ-ray measurements. Besides measurements of the diffuse emission from the Galaxy, observatio...
متن کاملA focusing telescope for gamma-ray astronomy
With the development of the Laue Lens, gamma-ray astronomy is presently realizing the step that virtually all branches of astronomy have accomplished since Lippershey’s invention 400 years ago: the focusing telescope. In a Laue lens, gamma-rays interact coherently inside a crystal via Bragg-diffraction; a large number of diffraction crystals are oriented in a way to deviate incident photons ont...
متن کاملProspects in Space-based Gamma-ray Astronomy J. Knödlseder (on Behalf of a Large Community of European Gamma-ray Astronomers)
At the uppermost part of the electromagnetic spectrum , observations of the gamma-ray sky reveal the most powerful sources and the most violent events in the Universe. While at lower wavebands the observed emission is generally dominated by thermal processes, the gamma-ray sky provides us with a view on the non-thermal Universe, where particles are accelerated by still poorly understood mechani...
