Description

Gamma-ray astronomy currently has an unprecedented sensitivity with instruments covering 6 decades of energy from 100MeV to 100TeV. The surveying capability at complementary energies between Fermi and HAWC allows extensive coverage for transients and flares. Very extended emissions are also being revealed within our Galaxy from nearby pulsar wind nebulae and star-forming regions. Using these HAWC and Fermi discoveries as targets, the finer resolution of imaging telescopes can begin to deconvolve the morphology of complex regions and follow up on sources found in previously unsurveyed regions with deeper exposures. With all these instruments in operation, the gamma-ray field is well-poised for multi-wavelength and multi-messenger astronomy.
