Description

Unidentified objects dominate current catalogues of high-energy (MeV-to-GeV) sources. Solving the mystery of such unidentified γ-ray sources is a major challenge for astronomy. Different approaches towards source identification have been tried in the past, with limited success. The wealth of gamma-ray sources expected in the near future calls for a novel approach
