The Gamma-Ray Cosmos
Abstract
NASA's Compton Observatory spacecraft and the Russian/French Granat satellite have yielded vast new knowledge concerning the gamma-ray universe, which is indicative of the most energetic events in existence. A survey is presently conducted of the state of observational and theoretical understanding of gamma-ray sources in active galaxies and within the Galaxy.
