Summary Several AGNs have been proposed as identifications of gamma-ray sources discovered by CGRO. Using the NED database, we show
that these AGNs are not the only extragalactic objects within the error boxes of the sources. Therefore, an in-depth study
is needed on a case-by-case basis to access the most probable counterparts of the gamma-ray sources. A comparison with the
COS-B database is also presented.

Summary We present a new γ-ray telescope based on the Limited Streamer Tube technology, used as tracking chambers to detect photons
above 100 MeV. This technique allows to obtain very large sensitive areas (16 m2 in our experiment), together with a good angular resolution for payloads embarcable in high-altitude balloon flights. The
capability to collect a large signal in a short exposure time makes the telescope particularly suitable and competitive with
respect to satellite-based detectors for studying both periodic and random time variabilities on galactic and extragalactic
γ-ray sources.

Summary We describe a method of analysis for the reconstruction of the arrival direction of a high-energy photon impacting on the
top of the atmosphere by using the directions of the particles on the shower front as measured by a ground-based array of
tracking chambers uniformly distributed on a square surface; as an example, an array with enclosed surface of (120×120) m2 has been considered. Estimates on the accuracy of reconstruction are given, after application of the method to computer-simulated
shower directions as a function of the number of ?smapling? detectors and of their accuracy in the measurement of the ?local?
shower direction.

Summary This paper highlights the status of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy with emphasis on the astrophysical significance
of the discovery of TeV γ-radiation from four celestial objects, Crab Nebula, PSR B1706-44, Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, detected
at very high confidence levels using the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique.

Summary Anad hoc programme aimed at the search for the optical counterparts of the hard-X-ray/soft-γ-ray sources discovered and/or observed
by the SIGMA telescope is described and some of the results, obtained so far, are presented.

Summary We briefly discuss the use of existing astronomical data, mainly deep optical observations performed in order to obtain galaxy
and star counts, for the identification of gamma-ray burst sources in particular and of newly discovered X- and gamma-ray
sources in general. Use of such data cannot only reduce the amount of required telescope time but also, in comparison with
present-day observations, allow the search for variability and proper motion of candidate optical counterparts over a time
span of several years.

Summary A new Cherenkov imaging telescope SHALON equipped with a very high-definition camera (144 pixels, imaging 7.20×7.20) takes data since 1993 at a mountain altitude of 3338 m. We discuss some results of the observations of the indicated gamma-ray
sources and the discrimination methods between gamma-rays and protons. Selection of showers produced by gamma-quanta from
a background of showers produced by protons has been made according to the following criteria: 1) alpha<200; 2) length/width>1.6 for γ; 3) Cherenkov light intensity in pixels with max light to the light in the light pixels near around
is >0.2 for γ and <0.6 for p; 4) Cherenkov light intensity in pixels with max light to all light in imaging excluding in centre
is >0.8 for γ and <0.8 for p; 5) distance for γ is <3.5 pixels.I

Summary After reviewing the evidence that the X/γ-ray source 1E0630+ 178/Geminga is a relatively young, isolated neutron star similar
to the Vela Pulsar, we present our recent discovery of the proper motion of its faint optical counterpart. This measurement
confirms the proposed optical identification, and suggests a distance of the order of 100 pc, consistent with the upper limits
derived from the Geminga high-energy emission. The hypothetical nearby supernova event which originated Geminga about 350
000 years ago is also briefly discussed.

Summary We investigate by a statistical analysis possible correlations among the observational parameters of the γ-ray bursts: the
rise time, the decay time and spectral hardness. We discuss the physical constraints implied by the results.

Summary Cygnus X-3 has been observed from 1982 to 1987 at primary energyE
0≃1014 eV from the Plateau Rosa array. The absolute excess in the counting rate from the source region amounts to 0.15%, mostly
concentrated in 1982 and 1986. The effect is observed in two classes of events although with small significance (2 and 1.4
s.d.). The 1986 data are consistent with observations of other arrays. The study of the 4.8 h time periodicity over a long
observation time does not show any significant structure (2.5 s.d. excess at phase 0.2÷0.5). In 1982 and 1986 the light curves
show respectively a wide excess between phases 0.60 and 0.85 and a 2.7 s.d. excess at phase 0.2÷0.25. The analysis of daily
excesses from the source shows a good agreement with the expectations from pure statistical fluctuations, and no significant
evidence of burst activity.
