Performance of the STACEE Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope
STACEE Collaboration, D. A. Williams, D. Bhattacharya +20
The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is located at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility of Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico,…
Very High Energy Gamma-ray spectral properties of Mrk 501 from CAT Cerenkov telescope observations in 1997
A. Djannati-Atai, F. Piron, A. Barrau +31
The BL Lac object Mrk 501 went into a very high state of activity during 1997, both in VHE gamma-rays and X-rays. We present here results from observations at energies above 250 Ge…
Tev Blazars: Status of Observations
F. Krennrich, S. D. Biller, I. H. Bond +28
The close relation between ground-based TeV observations and satellite borne -ray measurements has been important for the understanding of blazars. The observations which involv…
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…
TeV Observations of the Variability and Spectrum of Markarian 501
J. Quinn, I. H. Bond, P. J. Boyle +27
Markarian 501 is only the second extragalactic source to be detected with high statistical certainty at TeV energies; it is similar in many ways to Markarian 421. The Whipple Obser…
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…
