Description
Over the past few years, very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy has
emerged as a truly observational discipline, with many detected sources
representing different galactic and extragalactic source
populations-supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, giant molecular
clouds, star formation regions, compact binary systems, and active
galactic nuclei. The H.E.S.S. array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov
telescopes has revealed a sky full of sources of very high energy gamma
rays, challenging our knowledge of particle acceleration (either
hadronic or leptonic) and propagation in environments with extreme
conditions.
The talk will illustrate some of the key results from H.E.S.S., mention
some of the open questions, and give a general overview of the future
plans.
