TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Theory and Observations Presented at the Heidelberg Workshop, October 3–7, 1994

The `International Heidelberg Workshop on TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics' brought together astrophysicists from the various fields which play a role in the formation of high energy gamma-ray emission. In particular, theoretical and observational aspects of the physics and astrophysics of pulsars an...
