Description

This talk will provide a brief overview of several topics of synergetic interest, bringing together opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. Galactic gamma-ray sources producing photons at ~TeV energies include supernova remnants, pulsars and their nebulae, stellar clusters and binary systems. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes also have other commonalities with radio facilities, such as interferometric measurements, detection of extensive air showers and combating satellite interference. New gamma-ray and radio facilities will be coming online in the near future, lending themselves to further MWL collaboration.
