TeV gamma-ray studies of Galactic high energy sources and future plans- Gavin Rowell colloquium

TeV gamma-ray telescopes (in particular H.E.S.S.) have opened up a new
window into the high energy Universe. Recent TeV results (in conjunction
with those at other wavelengths) are being used to study particle
acceleration, propagation, and photon production in Galactic objects
such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, compact binaries,
stellar clusters, molecular clouds and others. I will review some
recent results from H.E.S.S. and illustrate the close connection with
multiwavelenth observations. I will conclude with an overview of future
plans in TeV gamma-ray astronomy.
