Abstract
The European Space Agency satellite COS-B carries a single experiment devoted to the observation of celestial high-energy (> 30 MeV) gamma-rays. Some of the preliminary results indicate that a fraction of the galactic gamma-rays originate in close-by regions (distance ≤ 1 kpc). The interpretation of these results in correlation with infrared observations will permit a study of the content structure of the local interstellar medium.
