Scientific paper

Milagro was the first large area, continuously operating, water-Cherenkov detector used for gamma-ray astronomy. Milagro has provided a new and unique look at the Northern sky. Utilizing the wide field-of-view, Milagro performed the deepest survey of the Northern Hemisphere TeV gamma-ray sky. The observatory was sensitive to gamma rays from below 1 TeV to greater than 100 TeV. We will present the major results from this survey, which include the discovery of a number of new TeV gamma-ray sources, discovery of diffuse TeV emission from the plane of the Galaxy and discovery of a localized cosmic-ray anisotropy. In addition, we will show that most of the strongly detected Milagro sources are coincident with high luminosity pulsars detected at lower energies by the Fermi satellite.
