  • Abstract
    After almost 5 years of operation, ESAʹs International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) Space Observatory has unveiled a new soft gamma-ray sky and produced a remarkable harvest of results, ranging from identification of new high energy sources, to the discovery of dozens of variable sources to the mapping of the aluminum emission from the Galaxy Plane to the presence of electrons and positrons generating the annihilation line in the Galaxy central radian. INTEGRAL is continuing the deep observations of the Galactic Plane and of the whole sky in the soft gamma-ray range. The new IBIS gamma-ray catalogue contains more than 420 sources detected above 20 keV. We present a view of the INTEGRAL high energy sky with particular regard to sources emitting at high energy, including Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), High Energy Steroscopic System (HESS)/MAGIC counterparts and new view of the cosmic gamma-ray diffuse background.
