Explore the second lecture on very-high energy galactic sources delivered by Gustavo Romero from IAR, Argentina, as part of the CLAF/ICTP-SAIFR Latin-American Astroparticle Physics School. Delve deeper into the physics and characteristics of galactic objects that emit radiation at extremely high energies, building upon concepts introduced in the first lecture. Learn about the mechanisms responsible for particle acceleration in these cosmic environments, the observational techniques used to detect very-high energy emissions, and the theoretical frameworks that explain these phenomena. Examine specific examples of galactic sources such as pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, and other high-energy astrophysical objects that contribute to the galactic cosmic ray population. Gain insights into the latest research developments and observational data from ground-based and space-based gamma-ray telescopes that have revolutionized our understanding of these extreme cosmic accelerators.
