    Observations of the gamma-ray emission from the Milky Way have significantly improved in recent years thanks to the current space instruments such as Fermi-LAT and AGILE, and to the ground-based telescopes such as H.E.S.S., VERITAS, Milagro at higher energies. While high-quality data are providing crucial information on Galactic sources, interstellar emissions and high-energy particles, they...

    The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has been surveying the full sky since August 2008. The third LAT source catalog (3FGL, about 3000 sources) is still the largest general gamma-ray catalog, but it is based on only 4 years of data. Going deeper over the full energy band (down to 100 MeV) requires more robust methods. The analysis is much simpler at high energies due to the good spatial...

    The strength and structure of intergalactic magnetic fields (IGMFs) are an open problem in cosmology. Gamma-ray-induced electromagnetic cascades can be used to probe IGMFs as their charged components are sensitive to the underlying structure of the fields. For a complete Monte Carlo treatment of the effects of IGMFs on the development of electromagnetic cascades, GRPropa was developed. This...
