Scientific paper

The next few years will see the build up of several new gamma-ray detectors both on the ground and in space. By 2006 VERITAS, HESS and MAGIC expect to be operational and GLAST will be in orbit. At the same time, a number of X-ray satellites will be in operation, complementing these new gamma-ray instruments. A better understanding of many high-energy sources can be obtained by making contemporaneous observations with multiple x-ray and gamma-ray instruments. A workshop was recently held at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago to discuss the future of multiwavelength campaigns. The workshop was intended as an opportunity for information exchange within the community to get the best possible science returns from the wealth of data that is expected to come in from the next generation of experiments. By the end of the workshop participants gained a general understanding of the capabilities of the various instruments and their observational strategies. We also came up with a good start on some concrete mechanisms for coordinating gamma-ray observations with ground based and space based observatories at other wavelengths - including X-ray and optical groups. I will report on the results from this workshop in my presentation at the AAS. The workshop was sponsored by the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum.
