Abstract: | 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.
Paper presented at the Special Session on ground-based gamma-ray astronomy of the XXIV International Cosmic-Ray Conference,
Rome, August 28–September 8, 1995. |
