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…

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…

Constraints on Cosmic-Ray Origin Theories from TeV Gamma-Ray Observations
R. W. Lessard, P. J. Boyle, S. M. Bradbury +23
If supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, the associated nuclear interactions should result in observable fluxes of TeV gamma-rays from the nearest SNR…
