The Gamma-Ray Astrophysics 2001 Symposium offered the opportunity for participants to discuss important results from the nine years of operations of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), which ceased operations on June 4, 2000. Discussions also included new results from current missions such as HETE-II, Chandra, and XMM-Newton. In addition, results from ground-based VHE gamma-ray and radion observatories, and other ground-based and space missions related to high energy astrophysical sources were discussed. On the horizon, new gamma-ray space telescopies like GLAST, Swift, INTEGRAL, and AGILE will be launched in the next few years. Papers include mission capabilities and anticipate science from these upcoming missions. Topics include: galactic center; neutron star x-ray binaries; black hole x-ray binaries; gamma-ray bursts; blazars active galactic nuclei; Seyfert galaxies; galaxy clusters and diffuse gamma-ray background; particle and cosmic rays; nucleosyntheses and galactic diffuse emission; pulsars; solar and stellar flares; surveys and population studies; analysis techniques; future missions-GLAST/AGILE, gamma-ray bursts, and INTEGRAL; mission concepts for high-energy gamma rays, gamma-ray line spectropscopy, advanced Compton telescopes, and hard x-ray telescopes; as well as ground based high-energy astronomy.
