Descripción
A new era in gamma-ray astronomy is upon us, thanks to a combination of instruments covering an unprecedented energy range from GeV to PeV. Space-based missions such as Fermi, ground-based Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), and extensive air shower arrays now provide a unified view of the most energetic sky. This multi-instrument approach has revealed over 300 sources, all of which are driven by extreme particle acceleration in violent cosmic environments. This contribution will provide a review of the Galactic gamma-ray sky, highlighting the characteristics of persistent, variable and transient sources as observed across this full energy spectrum.
