CYlindrical GAmma-ray Monitor

WHAT RESULTS MAY ONE EXPECT AFTER A YEAR OF
CYGAM FLIGHT IN THE HIGH APOGEE ORBIT?

Distribution of the Galaxy diffuse emission with high angular resolution allowing to refine the spatial distribution of the cosmic-ray protons in the Galaxy.
More than 1000 compact sources with the fraction of degree location accuracy and continuouse monitoring of their flux time variation.
Up to 10 new gamma-ray pulsars emitting in the very high energy range.
Several high energy gamma-ray bursts with the fraction of degree localization accuracy.
In the years of high solar activity up to 10 solar flares with very high energy gamma emission.
