Abstract
High-energy photons are a powerful probe for astrophysics and for fundamental physics under extreme conditions. During the recent years, our knowledge of the most violent phenomena in the Universe has impressively progressed thanks to the advent of new detectors for very-high-energy γ-rays. Ground-based detectors like the Cherenkov telescopes (H.E.S.S. and MAGIC in particular) recently discovered more than 70 new very-high-energy sources. This article reviews the present status of very-high-energy gamma astrophysics, with emphasis on the results related to fundamental physics and on the experimental developments.
