==Aims== The goals of the telescope are to detect and study primarily photons coming from: *Accretion of [[black holes]] in [[active galactic nuclei]] *[[Supernova remnant]]s, due to their interest as sources of [[cosmic rays]]. *Other galactic sources such as [[pulsar wind nebula]]e or [[X-ray binaries]].<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1126/science.1128177| title = Variable Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from the Microquasar LS I +61 303| journal = Science| volume = 312| issue = 5781| pages = 1771β3| year = 2006| last1 = Albert | first1 = J.| pmid=16709745|arxiv = astro-ph/0605549 |bibcode = 2006Sci...312.1771A | s2cid = 20981239}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1086/521145| title = Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the Stellar Mass Black Hole Binary Cygnus X-1| journal = The Astrophysical Journal| volume = 665| pages = L51βL54| year = 2007| last1 = Albert | first1 = J.| last2 = Aliu | first2 = E.| last3 = Anderhub | first3 = H.| last4 = Antoranz | first4 = P.| last5 = Armada | first5 = A.| last6 = Baixeras | first6 = C.| last7 = Barrio | first7 = J.
