Variability of EGRET Gamma-Ray Sources
P. L. Nolan, W. F. Tompkins, I. A. Grenier +1
The variability of the high-energy gamma ray sources in the Third EGRET catalog is analyzed by a new method. We re-analyze the EGRET data to calculate a likelihood function for the…
Applications of Likelihood Analysis in Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
W. F. Tompkins
The field of gamma ray astronomy relies heavily on the statistical analysis of data. Because of the paucity of data, and the often large errors associated with detecting gamma rays…
EGRET Spectral Index and the Low-Energy Peak Position in the Spectral Energy Distribution of EGRET-Detected Blazars
Y. C. Lin
In current theoretical models of the blazar subclass of active galaxies, the broadband emission consists of two components: a low-frequency synchrotron component with a peak in the…
Beam Test of Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Components
W. B. Atwood, S. Ritz, P. Anthony +35
A beam test of GLAST (Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope) components was performed at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in October, 1997. These beam test components were sim…
