Scientific paper

The Milagro Gamma-Ray Observatory, located at an altitude of 2630 m in the mountains of northern New Mexico, is a water-Cherenkov extensive air shower detector consisting of a 4800 m2 covered pond instrumented with 723 PMTs. For improved sensitivity, 175 instrumented water tanks have recently been added surrounding the pond, covering an area of 40,000 m2. Milagro continuously observes the entire overhead sky, making it the ideal instrument to perform an all-sky search for TeV gamma-ray sources. Results from this survey are presented here, as well as a search for TeV emission from the galactic plane, and a search for transient emission above ˜100 GeV from gamma-ray bursts.
