New Results from High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy
High energy gamma-ray astronomy has recently made significant progresss through ground-based instruments like the H.E.S.S. array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The unprecedented angular resolution and the large field of view has allowed to spatially resolve for the first time the morphology of gamma-ray sources in the TeV energy range. The experimental technique is described and t...
متن کاملStatistical Issues in High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy for GLAST
This paper describes the statistical issues involved in analyzing data from high-energy gamma-ray telescopes, at levels from event reconstruction to correlations of populations of astrophysical sources. Some motivation for attempting to do astronomy with high-energy gamma rays is also given, along with some of the constraints implied by operating the instrument in orbit. Specific attention is g...
متن کاملTeV 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...
