Résumé
Abstract

Le présent numéro est le premier de deux volumes consacrés à l'astronomie gamma de haute énergie au-dessus de 100 MeV, qui a considérablement progressé au cours des vingt dernières années. Cet article expose les motivations à la base de cette recherche, présente les articles de ces deux fascicules et fournit une brève introduction historique au domaine.

The present issue is the first of a two-volume review devoted to gamma-ray astronomy above 100 MeV, which has witnessed considerable progress over the last 20 years. The motivations for research in this area are explained, the follow-on articles of these two issues are introduced and a brief history of the field is given.
