Gamma ray astronomy

Abstract

A review is given of recent papers in the field of gamma-ray astronomy. It is mentioned that the strongest feature of the gamma ray sky is the general radiation from the galactic plane which is superimposed on what appears to be a general diffuse radiation, whose properties are not yet defined. The observation of high-energy galactic gamma radiation by the SAS-2 satellite is considered as is the observation of point and localized sources (the Crab Nebula, Vela, etc.). The observation of diffusive gamma radiation is discussed.
