Abstract content

In this contribution we discuss the possibility of using the observations by GLAST of standard gamma sources, as the Crab Nebula or Vela and some selected AGNs, to calibrate the Imaging Air Cherenkov detectors and improve their energy resolution. Results of the calibration technique can possibly be used to discriminate between VHE gamma-rays emitted by the Nebula and by the inner pulsar of a pleryon source.
