โฆ Synopsis
A continuous monitoring of the Galactic Centre region has been performed with the WFC~s on board BeppoSAX on a time spread of about 7 months for a total of 500 ks exposure time. The long repeated observations allowed for the identification of 14 bursting sources, 2 of which uncataloged (SAXJ1750-290, SAXJ1806-221) and 3 observed bursting for the first time (GS1826-~38, SLX1735-~69, XTE1709-267). A summary of the monitoring of the Galactic Centre bursters is reported.

Measurements by High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) provide the first sensitive map of very-high-energy (VHE) g-ray emission from the central few hundred parsecs of our galaxy. These observations are a valuable tool to understand the acceleration and propagation of energetic particles near th
