Very-High Energy Gamma Astrophysics
High energy photons are a powerful probe for astrophysics and for fundamental physics under extreme conditions. During the recent years, our knowledge of the most violent phenomena in the Universe has impressively progressed thanks to the advent of new detectors for high energy gamma rays. Observation of γ-rays gives an exciting view of the high energy universe thanks to the current (AGILE) and...
متن کاملHigh-(Energy)-Lights The Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Sky
The high-lights of ground-based very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gammaray astronomy are reviewed. The summary covers both Galactic and extragalactic sources. Implications for our understanding of the non-thermal Universe are discussed. Identified VHE sources include various types of supernova remnants (shell-type, mixed morphology, composite) including pulsar wind nebulae, and X-ray binary s...
متن کاملImaging Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescopes
The technique of γ-ray astronomy at very high energies (VHE:> 100 GeV) with ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is described, the H.E.S.S. array in Namibia serving as example. Mainly a discussion of the physical principles of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique is given, emphasizing its rapid development during the last decade. The present status is illustrated by two examples...
متن کاملVery high-energy gamma rays from gamma-ray bursts.
Very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy has undergone a transformation in the last few years, with telescopes of unprecedented sensitivity having greatly expanded the source catalogue. Such progress makes the detection of a gamma-ray burst at the highest energies much more likely than previously. This paper describes the facilities currently operating and their chances for detecting gamma-ra...
متن کاملCANGAROO Project for High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
Astrophyisical motivations, recent status and results from the international CANGAROO project in Woomera, South Australia are described. Since 1990, with ground-based gamma-ray telecopes using the imaging Cherenkov technique, we are exploring the highenergy phenomena in the Universe and providing new insights to active and extreme astrophysical objects by its observational data at the highest e...
