AbstractActive galactic nuclei, hosting supermassive black holes and launching relativistic jets, are the most numerous objects on the gamma-ray sky. At the other end of the mass scale, phenomena related to stellar mass black holes, in particular gamma-ray bursts and microquasars, are also seen on the gamma-ray sky. While all of them are thought to launch relativistic jets, the diversity even within each of these classes is enormous. In this review, I will discuss recent very high energy gamma-ray results that underline both the similarity of the black hole systems, as well as their diversity.

Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (the measurement of γ above 10 GeV) is a rather young but fast evolving field. In the past 16 years some 20 sources have been discovered, about half of them are firmly established and seen with high significance by more than one experiment. This rather short list already contains very different objects like plerions, supernova remnants and active galactic nuclei. A new generation of instruments (CANGAROO III, HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS) is just starting to take data, and first preliminary results show that the sensitivity is improved by at least a factor of 100. Already during commissioning, some new sources have been discovered. This overview will summarize the techniques used in VHE gamma-ray observations as well discuss briefly some physics topics that can be investigated in this energy range.
