Correlations between parameters of extended air showers and their proper use in analyses
Wolfgang Wittek, Harald Kornmayer, The HEGRA Collaboration
In air shower experiments information about the initial cosmic ray particle or about the shower development is obtained by exploiting the correlations between the quantities of int…
HEGRA search for TeV emission from BL Lac objects
F. Aharonian, The HEGRA Collaboration
The HEGRA system of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) has been used to extensively observe extragalactic objects. In this paper we describe the search for TeV e…
AGN sudies above 1.5 TeV with the HEGRA 5 m^2 Cherenkov Telescope (Sources observed: Mkn 421, Mkn 501, MS 0116+319, PKS 2209+236, NGC 315 and W Comae)

The HEGRA 5 m^2 air Cherenkov telescope (CT1) was used to search for gamma-ray emission above 1.5 TeV from a series of low redshift AGN (Mkn 421, Mkn 501, MS 0116+319, PKS 2209+236…
Search for TeV Counterparts of Gamma-Ray Bursts with the HEGRA Experiment
H. Krawczynski, B. Funk, the HEGRA collaboration +7
The HEGRA experiment is an air shower detector system for the study of neutral and charged cosmic rays in the energy range between 500 GeV to 10 PeV. Here we give an overview of ho…
