As we entered a new era in TeV astronomy, with the imminent start of operations of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and new facilities such as LHAASO and the proposed Southern Wide-Field Gamma-ray Observatory (SWGO), we conceived of this volume as a broad reflection on how far we have evolved in the astrophysics topics that dominated the field of TeV astronomy for much of recent history.In the past two decades, H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS pushed the field of TeV astronomy, consolidating the field of TeV astrophysics, from few to hundreds of TeV emitters. Today, this is a mature field, covering almost every topic of modern astrophysics. TeV astrophysics is also at the center of the multi-messenger astrophysics revolution, as the extreme photon energies involved provide an effective probe in cosmic-ray acceleration, propagation and interaction, in dark matter and exotic physics searches. The improvement that CTA will carry forward and the fact that CTA will operate as the first open observatory in the field, mean that gamma-ray astronomy is about to enter a new precision and productive era.This book aims to serve as an introduction to the field and its state of the art, presenting a series of authoritative reviews on a broad range of topics in which TeV astronomy provided essential contributions, and where some of the most relevant questions for future research lie. 517 $aHigh-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 606 $aMathematics & science$2bicssc 610 $agamma ray astronomy 610 $aimaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique 610 $aTeV gamma-rays 610 $anon-thermal radiation 610 $akeV-TeV cosmic sources 610 $aINTEGRAL legacy data base 610 $arelativistic astrophysics 610 $agamma rays 610 $acosmic rays 610 $ainterstellar medium 610 $aMilky Way 610 $agalaxies 610 $aradiation mechanisms: non-thermal 610 $ahigh energy astrophysics 610 $abackground radiation 610 $aphoton-photon interaction 610 $apair production 610 $aaxion-like particles 610 $agamma-rays 610 $aIACTs 610 $aintergalactic magnetic fields 610 $ahigh-energy gamma rays 610 $aelectromagnetic cascades 610 $apevatrons 610 $aGalactic cosmic rays 610 $aPeVatron 610 $aCrab Nebula 610 $aangular resolution 610 $aenergy spectral distribution 610 $a?-ray astronomy 610 $avery-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics 610 $aastroparticle physics 610 $aimaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes 610 $aQuantum Gravity 610 $aLorentz invariance violation 610 $atime of flight 610 $amodified photon interactions 610 $avery-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy 610 $aopen science 610 $adata format 610 $amulti-messenger 610 $areal-time 610 $ahigh-energy 610 $aalerts 610 $avery-high-energy ?-ray astronomy 610 $aatmospheric Cherenkov telescopes 610 $asource catalogues 610 $agamma-ray astronomy 610 $aCherenkov telescopes 610 $aISM: supernova remnants 610 $aISM: individual objects-Crab Nebula 610 $apulsars: general 610 $aradiation mechanisms: nonthermal 610 $agamma rays: general 610 $aacceleration of particles 610 $aastrophysical plasmas 610 $aMHD 610 $ahigh-energy gamma-ray astrophysics 610 $aGamma-ray bursts 610 $anon-thermal emission 610 $aradiative processes 610 $avery-high energy Gamma-rays 610 $astatistical analysis 610 $alikelihood 610 $abayes 610 $aimaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope 610 $aIACT 610 $aIACT technology 610 $avery high energy gamma-ray telescope 610 $aground-based gamma-ray astrophysics 615 7$aResearch & information: general 615 7$aMathematics & science 700 $ade Almeida$b Ulisses Barres$4edt$01307822 702 $aDoro$b Michele$4edt 702 $ade Almeida$b Ulisses Barres$4oth 702 $aDoro$b Michele$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910639997503321 996 $aHigh-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy$93029034 997 $aUNINA
