Abstract content
An overview of TeVCat, a new online interactive catalog for very high energy (VHE; E > 50 GeV) gamma-ray astronomy is presented. As VHE astronomy continues to grow, the usefulness of a one-stop clearing house for information on new sources is increasingly evident. TeVCat is intended to be such a resource. With sky maps, source information, visibility plotters and linked references, it will help the wider gamma-ray community stay up-to-date and informed on this exciting and rapidly developing field.
