Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Detection of High Energy Galactic Sources: An Update

Abstract

I review the present status of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, concentrating on the population of galactic TeV sources. A number of new telescope systems are now being completed, and promise to yield exciting new discoveries, expanding rapidly the number of sources. The TeV galactic sources today include a number of plerions, shell-type SNR, an X-ray binary, and also one unidentified candidate. Their present status, and our understanding of their TeV gamma-ray emission processes are summarised and some motivation driving development of the field is outlined.
