12 pages, 8 figures, Plenary Talk at the 28th International Cosmic Ray Conference (Tsukuba, Japan)

Scientific paper

This is the first of three plenary talks with the same title given at the 28th ICRC in Tsukuba, Japan in August, 2003. A brief description of the techniques for detecting gamma rays at TeV energies is followed by a summary of the observational status of the field. The expectations of the field from a cosmic ray perspective are compared with these early results. The majority of sources detected with some certainty are extragalactic; the observational status of these sources is summarized. The most complete set of observations are those dealing with the detection of blazars for which a catalog is presented. This discipline is now established as a new branch of observational astronomy.
