Gamma : Gamma-ray Astrophysics 2001, Baltimore, MD, USA, 4-6 April, 2001

The Gamma-Ray Astrophysics 2001 Symposium offered the opportunity for participants to discuss important results from the nine years of operations of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), which ceased operations on June 4, 2000.

Discussions also included new results from current missions such as HETE-II, Chandra, and XMM-Newton.

In addition, results from ground-based VHE gamma-ray and radion observatories, and other ground-based and space missions related to high energy astrophysical sources were discussed.

On the horizon, new gamma-ray space telescopies like GLAST, Swift, INTEGRAL, and AGILE will be launched in the next few years.

Papers include mission capabilities and anticipated science from these upcoming missions.
