Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A review on some recent developments in gamma ray astrophysics with particular emphasis on the role of relativistic bulk motion in nonthermal gamma ray sources, radiation processes in AGN jets, high-energy neutrino astronomy and the use of gamma rays in the energy range 10 GeV - 50 TeV as a probe of the diffuse IR-UV radiation field at cosmic distances.
