Description

Very high energy astrophysics has got a boost in the recent years driven by the development of new observational facilities such as LHAASO, which started observing in the last few years, and CTAO and ASTRI-MiniArray, which are under construction. A key question that these instruments plan to address is the identification of hadronic PeVatrons, namely the most powerful particle accelerators in the Galaxy. In my talk I will overview the main Galactic gamma-ray sources, and give the prospects for detections of these, with a special focus on the performance of the next generation detectors towards morphological and spectroscopical studies.
