Spectrum of Very High Energy Gamma-Rays from the blazar 1ES1959+650 during Flaring Activity in 2002

M. K. Daniel

The blazar 1ES 1959+650 was observed in a flaring state with the Whipple 10 m Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope during May of 2002. A spectral analysis has been carried out o…

A Search for TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from High-Peaked Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars Using the Whipple Air-Cherenkov Telescope

A. D. Falcone, the VERITAS collaboration

Blazars have traditionally been separated into two broad categories based upon their optical emission characteristics; BL Lacs, with faint or no emission lines, and flat spectrum r…

TeV Gamma-Ray Observations of the Galactic Center

K. Kosack, the VERITAS Collaboration

We report a possible detection of TeV gamma-rays from the Galactic Center by the Whipple 10m gamma-ray telescope. Twenty-six hours of data were taken over an extended period from 1…

Constraints on the Very High Energy Emission from BL Lacertae Objects

D. Horan

We present results from observations of 29 BL Lacertae objects, taken with the Whipple Observatory 10 m Gamma-Ray Telescope between 1995 and 2000. The observed objects are mostly a…

Search for High Energy Gamma Rays from an X-ray Selected Blazar Sample

I. de la Calle Perez, the VERITAS Collaboration

Our understanding of blazars has been greatly increased in recent years by extensive multi-wavelength observations, particularly in the radio, X-ray and gamma-ray regions. Over the…

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…

Detection of TeV Gamma Rays from the BL Lac Object 1ES1959+650 with the Whipple 10m Telescope

J. Holder, VERITAS collaboration

We present the first strong detection of very high energy gamma-rays from the close (z=0.048) X-ray selected BL Lacertae object 1ES1959+650. Observations were made with the Whipple…

The TeV spectrum of H1426+428

D. Petry, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +45

The BL Lac object H1426+428 was recently detected as a high energy gamma-ray source by the VERITAS collaboration (Horan et al. 2002). We have reanalyzed the 2001 portion of the dat…

Detection of the BL Lac Object H1426+428 at TeV Gamma Ray Energies

D. Horan

A very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray signal has been detected at the 5.4 sigma level from H1426+428, an x-ray selected BL Lacertae object at a redshift of 0.129. The object was monit…

Cutoff in the TeV Energy Spectrum of Markarian 421 During Strong Flares in 2001

F. Krennrich, H. M. Badran, I. H. Bond +43

Exceptionally strong and long lasting flaring activity of the blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) occurred between January and March 2001. Based on the excellent signal-to-noise ratio o…
