Abstract

The γ-ray space telescopes AGILE and Fermi have been successfully launched on April 2007 and June 2008. Thanks to better capabilities than their predecessor EGRET, and in particular to their considerably improved angular resolution, they are able to provide a much more detailed view of the γ-ray sky above ∼20 MeV. They have already reported on a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena and sources such as diffuse galactic emission, pulsars and other galactic sources, active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, and cosmic-ray electrons.
