Description
The ASTRI-Mini Array will be composed of nine imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
at the Teide Observatory site. The array will observe in the 1-200 TeV range with an
angular resolution of few arc-minutes and an energy resolution of about 10%.
A core-science programme will be devoted in the first three years to
a limited number of key science targets. Additionally, thanks to a field-of-view
of about 6 degree radius, ASTRI-MA will collect data from many other field sources
that will constitute the base of a long-term Galactic observatory programme.
In this contribution, I will overview the main themes for this extended observatory science programme for the different astrophysical Galactic environments, e.g. pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants, gamma-ray binaries, globular clusters, and dark matter search.
