Chapter 2 Galactic Gamma-ray Sources *
Chinese Physics C, 2022 Abstract In the γ-ray sky, the highest fluxes come from Galactic sources: supernova remnants (SNRs), pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae, star forming regions, binaries and micro-quasars, giant molecular clouds, Galactic center, and the large extended area around the Galactic plane.

Very high energy cosmic gamma rays from radio and x-ray pulsars [PDF]
, 1987 This thesis is concerned with the detection of very high energy cosmic gamma-rays from isolated pulsars and X-ray binary sources using the atmospheric Cerenkov technique. A general introduction to gamma ray detection techniques is followed by adscription

Is Gamma-Ray Burst 221009A Really a Once-in-10,000 yr Event?
The Astrophysical JournalGamma-ray bursts (GRBs) brighter than the GRB 221009A, the brightest yet observed, have previously been estimated to occur at a rate of one per 10,000 yr, based on the extrapolation of the distribution of fluences of the long-GRB population. We show that

Atmospheric monitoring and gamma-ray data analysis with the H.E.S.S. telescope array [PDF]
, 2008 The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) consists of an array of four ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The aim of the system is to detect Cherenkov radiation emitted from extensive air showers caused by very high energy gamma ...

The Astrophysical JournalThe second brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) in history, GRB 230307A, provides an ideal laboratory to study the mechanism of GRB prompt emission thanks to its extraordinarily high photon statistics and its single-episode activity.

Near-infrared and gamma-ray monitoring of TANAMI gamma-ray bright sources [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2013 Spectral energy distribution and its variability are basic tools for understanding the physical processes operating in active galactic nuclei (AGN). In this paper we report the results of a one-year near infra red (NIR) and optical monitoring of a sample of 22 AGN known to be gamma-ray emitters, aimed at discovering correlations between optical and ...
