TeV observations of SNRs and unidentified sources

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A review of very high energy gamma-ray astronomy is presented. Particular attention is paid to the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique whose employment has resulted in detections of both galactic and extra-galactic objects at energies above 300GeV. Next generation ground-based telescopes promise to increase our knowledge of extreme astrophysical objects as they begin to operate over the next few years.
