Future Ground-Based TeV Gamma-Ray Telescopes

  • Chapter
Cosmic Gamma-Ray Sources

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 304))

Abstract

A new phase of Very High Energy Gamma Ray astronomy is opening with the construction of a world-wide network of third generation telescopes. These offer the possibility of investigating the unidentified EGRET sources before the GLAST era begins.
