Abstract

In 1989, an air-borne experiments (VEGA experiment) aiming at the detection of a few 10 GeV γ-ray were carried out. In these experiments, nine point-source candidates along the Galactic plane were reported. In these candidates, the five of five highest significance candidates positionally coincide with the EGRET galactic plane sources.
