This book contains the invited and contributed lectures presented
at a meeting organised in the context of the XVIII general assembly
ofthe IAU, held in Patras, August 19, 1982. Roughly one hundred
scientists attended this meeting, the discussions were livel-
sometimes heated - and the original time span allocated to the
meeting was as a result, comfortably exceeded by about 50 % . The
aim of this meeting was to determine the role of galactic gamma-ray
astronomy within the general concept of galactic astrophysics. The
timing, at the end of the COS-B mission, was regarded as opportune,
because it gives interested astrophysicists the possibility for
interdisciplinary studies using the existing gamma-ray data base
(e.g. comparison with infrared, radio, X-ray, etc. astronomies), as
well as for theoretical studies. The next generation of gamma-ray
detectors will probably not be in operation for another 5 to 10
years, and therefore it is hoped that the proceeding of this
meeting can be used (in the intermediate time) as a basis for
further studies, as a stimulation for more theoretical work and as
an important contribution for defining the aims and operation of
future gamma-ray missions. The interrelationship with other
branches of astronomy, the astrophysical implications and the study
of relevant physical processes using available measurements in the
near-Earth environment were important results of the meeting. Many
persons contributed to the success of the meeting, in particular
all those who either presented a contribution and/or took part in
the discussions.
