TL;DR: A survey of Galactic gamma-ray sources at a median energy of ~20 TeV has been performed using the Milagro Gamma-Ray Observatory as mentioned in this paper, where the authors detected eight sources with pre-trial significances > 4.5 σ in the region of Galactic longitude l [30°, 220°] and latitude b [-10°, 10°].

TL;DR: In this article, the Milagro gamma-ray observatory was used to study the Cygnus region of the galactic plane, showing that it contains at least one new source, MGRO J2019+37 which is 10.9 σ above the isotropic background.

TL;DR: In this article, a method to differentiate hadronic air showers from electromagnetic air showers in the Milagro gamma-ray observatory, based on the ability to detect the energetic particles in an extensive air shower, was used to detect TeV emission from the Crab Nebula.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present spatial and flux measurements of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Cygnus Region, showing at least one new source MGRO J2019+37 and correlations with the matter density in the region as would be expected from cosmic-ray proton interactions.

TL;DR: The results from an analysis of ~3 yr of data (2000 December-2003 November) are presented in this paper, where the data have been searched for steady point sources of TeV gamma rays between declinations of 11 and 80° and two sources are detected, the Crab Nebula and the active galaxy Mrk 421.
