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…
Wavelet Imaging Cleaning Method for Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
R. W. Lessard, L. Cayón, G. H. Sembroski +1
We present a new method of image cleaning for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The method is based on the utilization of wavelets to identify noise pixels in images of gam…
VERITAS: the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System
T. C. Weekes
The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) represents an important step forward in the study of extreme astrophysical processes in the universe. It combi…
A New Analysis Method for Reconstructing the Arrival Direction of TeV Gamma-rays Using a Single Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope
R. W. Lessard, J. H. Buckley, V. Connaughton +1
We present a method of atmospheric Cherenkov imaging which reconstructs the unique arrival direction of TeV gamma rays using a single telescope. The method is derived empirically a…
Gamma-ray Observations of the Galactic Plane at Energies E > 500 GeV
S. LeBohec, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +25
In 1998 and 1999 the Whipple Observatory 10 m telescope was used to search for diffuse gamma ray emission from the Galactic Plane. No signifiant evidence of emission was found. Ass…
Search for Pulsed TeV Gamma-ray Emission from the Crab Pulsar
R. W. Lessard, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +23
We present the results of a search for pulsed TeV emission from the Crab pulsar using the Whipple Observatory's 10 m gamma-ray telescope. The direction of the Crab pulsar was obser…
