Gamma Ray Burst Section of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-based TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy
A. D. Falcone, D. A. Williams, M. G. Baring +20
This is a report on the findings of the gamma ray burst working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper is an APS commissione…
Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 in March 2001: an Unprecedented View on the X-ray/TeV Correlated Variability
G. Fossati, J. H. Buckley, I. H. Bond +26
(Abridged) We present a detailed analysis of week-long simultaneous observations of the blazar Mrk421 at 2-60 keV X-rays (RXTE) and TeV gamma-rays (Whipple and HEGRA) in 2001. The…
Very High Energy Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Locations with the Whipple Telescope
D. Horan, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +56
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations at very high energies (VHE, E > 100 GeV) can impose tight constraints on some GRB emission models. Many GRB afterglow models predict a VHE compon…
Observations of H1426+428 from 1999 to 2002 with The Whipple Observatory 10 m Telescope
D. Horan
The BL Lacertae object H1426+428 is the most distant, confirmed source of TeV gamma rays. At a redshift of 0.129, its detection at TeV energies has important implications for estim…
Search for TeV Emission at the Location of Milagro Sky Survey Hot Spot Using the Whipple Gamma-Ray Telescope
A. Falcone
A recent report from the Milagro collaboration included an all-sky map created using one year of data from Milagro (peak sensitivity at 3-4 TeV for Crab-like spectra). This map inc…
Search for Very High Energy Gamma Rays from an X-ray Selected Blazar Sample
I. de la Calle Perez
In recent years, blazar surveys at radio and X-ray energies have greatly increased our understanding of this type of active galaxy. The combination of multi-wavelength data has sho…
