The BL Lac object Mrk 501 went into a very high state of activity during 1997, both in VHE gamma-rays and X-rays. We present here results from observations at energies above 250 GeV carried out between March and October 1997 with the CAT…

Recent observations of Sgr A$^*$ by Fermi and HESS have detected steady gamma-ray emission in the GeV and TeV bands. We present a new model to explain the GeV gamma-ray emission by inverse Compton scattering by nonthermal electrons supplied…
