N. Masetti (INAF/Iasf di Bologna)
TL;DR
This paper reviews multiwavelength followup studies of gamma-ray sources detected by INTEGRAL and HESS, focusing on X-ray and optical observations to determine their nature with high positional accuracy.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of current followup efforts combining X-ray and optical data to identify and understand TeV gamma-ray sources.
Findings
Improved positional accuracy of gamma-ray sources.
Identification of source types through multiwavelength analysis.
Enhanced understanding of the nature of unidentified sources.
Abstract
The imaging capabilities of the INTEGRAL and HESS observatories allow the study of hard X-ray and TeV sources with unprecedented positional accuracy. Here I review the multiwavelength followup studies which are currently being performed on the unidentified sources detected by these facilities in order to unveil their actual nature.
