Scientific paper

The current generation of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray telescopes has revealed emission from a large number of sources which can be clearly identified with known supernova remnants (SNRs) or pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). Most of these objects are also non-thermal X-ray emitters, and in many cases there is a remarkable morphological correspondence between the X-ray and TeV gamma-ray images. The current status of observational knowledge in the VHE gamma-ray domain for both categories of objects will be reviewed. Particular attention will be paid to the evidence for accelerated high-energy nuclei in SNRs, and to the complementarity of VHE observations and synchrotron X-ray observations in PWNe.
