Descripción
Galactic cosmic-ray accelerators are identified efficiently by gamma-ray observations of space-borne and ground-based instruments. The gamma-ray sources observed so far, however, represent only the tip of the iceberg, a highly biased sample of the brightest and closest sources. Studying the population as a whole requires careful evaluation of the available data and their biases, stemming from the detection thresholds of the involved instruments. In this presentation I will outline and quantify the problem based on simulations, present a procedure to derive population properties and give examples for the application to individual source classes and their spatial and acceleration properties.
