Recently, advances in VHE instrumentation have made the discovery of many new,
predominantly Galactic, sources possible. Of these, a significant number can be
identified as pulsar wind nebulae. It has long been known that pulsars can drive
powerful winds of highly relativistic particles. These winds end in a termination
shock from which high-energy particles with a wide spectrum of energies em

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will be launched less than a year
from now, and its Large Area Telescope (LAT) is expected to discover scores to
hundreds of gamma-ray pulsars. This poster discusses which of the over 1700 known
pulsars, mostly visible only at radio frequencies, are likely to emit >100 MeV
gamma-rays with intensities detectable by the LAT. The main figure of mer

Shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) accelerate particles at the shock front
between the expanding remnant and the swept-up interstellar medium. If these
particles include protons and nuclei, very-high-energy gamma-ray emission may
result from the decay of pions produced in interactions between cosmic rays and
the local insterstellar medium. For SNRs that are interacting with a nearby
mol

Along its first two cycles of observations (May 2005 - April 2007) the MAGIC
telescope has observed the microquasars GRS 1915+105, Cygnus X-3 and Cygnus X-1. The
first two objects were observed in the target of opportunity mode, relying on alarms
based on their radio fluxes. Cyg X-1 was monitored during 50 hours spanning a period
of ~3 months. We report on the results of these observations.

Recent observations by atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes such as H.E.S.S., and MAGIC have
revealed a large number of new sources of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays above 100
GeV mostly concentrated along the Galactic plane. At lower energies (100 MeV - 10
GeV) the satellite-based instrument EGRET revealed a population of sources clustering
along the Galactic Plane. Given their adjacent energ

If the diffuse extragalactic gamma ray emission traces the large scale
structures of the universe, peculiar anisotropy patterns are expected in the
gamma ray sky. In particular, because of the cutoff distance introduced by the
absorption of 0.1-10 TeV photons on the infrared/optical background,
prominent correlations with the local structures within a range of few hundreds
Mpc should be
