High-Energy Astrophysics
I. INTRODUCTION
In preparing this report for the Astronomy Survey Com-
mittee, the Panel on High Energy Astrophysics solicited
the knowledge and opinions of scientists working in each
of the subdisciplines and representatives of the funding
agencies. Meetings of the panel were held in Chicago,
Pasadena, and Cambridge and were devoted to presentations
and discussions of scientific opportunities and require-
ments and of resources that may be available during the
coming decade. An essential foundation for all the dis-
cussions and for the conclusions we present herein is the
effort devoted to formulation of goals and strategies in
high energy astrophysics by many individuals who have
served on committees of the National Research Council
(NRC) and the funding agencies. We have used material in
the reports of those committees and planning documents
furnished to us by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, the National Science Foundation, the
Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense. In
particular we have had frequent reference to the report,
A Strategy for Space Astronomy and Astrophysics for the
1980's, by the Committee on Space Astronomy and Astro-
physics of the NRC Space Science Board, and the report, A
Program in High-Energy Astrophysics, by the High-Energy
Astrophysics Management Operations Working Group of the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In addi-
tion, we have received special reports and statements
