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…
Recent Results from the VERITAS Collaboration
F. Krennrich, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +36
A decade after the discovery of TeV gamma-rays from the blazar Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992), the list of TeV blazars has increased to five BL Lac objects: Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992…
TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy in the new Millennium
Frank Krennrich
The field of TeV gamma-ray astronomy is reviewed with emphasis on its relation to the origin of cosmic rays. The discovery of TeV photons from supernova remnants and active galaxie…
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…
Hour-Scale Multiwavelength Variability in Markarian 421
M. Catanese, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +36
Markarian 421 was observed for about four days with BeppoSAX and the Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope in April 1998. A pronounced, well-defined, flare with hour-scale variab…
