Search for TeV Gamma-Rays from Shell-Type Supernova Remnants
Whipple Collaboration, R. W. Lessard, I. H. Bond +26
If cosmic rays with energies <100 TeV originate in the galaxy and are accelerated in shock waves in shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs), gamma-rays will be produced as the result…
Milagro Constraints on Very High Energy Emission from Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. A. Abdo, B. T. Allen, D. Berley +27
Recent rapid localizations of short, hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Swift and HETE satellites have led to the observation of the first afterglows and the measurement of the fi…
Whipple Observations of BL Lac Objects
M. D'Vali, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +23
Only BL Lac objects have been detected as extragalactic sources of very high energy (E > 300 GeV) gamma rays. Using the Whipple Observatory Gamma-ray Telescope, we have attempted t…
A Search for TeV Emission from Unidentified Sources in the Galactic Plane
J. H. Buckley, P. J. Boyle, S. M. Bradbury +24
The ~70 unidentified sources of the EGRET sky survey may be one of its most important legacies. The identification of these sources at other wavelengths is critical to understandin…
Gamma-ray Observations of the Galactic Plane at Energies E > 500 GeV
S. LeBohec, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +25
In 1998 and 1999 the Whipple Observatory 10 m telescope was used to search for diffuse gamma ray emission from the Galactic Plane. No signifiant evidence of emission was found. Ass…
First Results from a Search for TeV Emission from BL Lacs
M. Catanese, P. J. Boyle, J. H. Buckley +22
Two active galactic nuclei have been detected at TeV energies using the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique. The Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope has been used to observ…
