Geomagnetic Effects on the Performance of Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescopes
P. M. Chadwick, K. Lyons, T. J. L. McComb +5
Atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes are used to detect electromagnetic showers from primary gamma rays of energy > 300 GeV and to discriminate these from cascades due to hadrons using…
The energy spectra of TeV sources measured with the Durham Mark 6 Telescope
P. M. Chadwick, K. Lyons, T. J. L. McComb +5
A programme of detailed simulations of the response of the Durham Mark 6 atmospheric Cherenkov telescope is in progress. The effective collecting area for triggering by gamma-ray s…
TeV Gamma Ray Emission from Cen X-3
P. M. Chadwick, K. Lyons, T. J. L. McComb +5
Cen X-3 is a well-studied high-mass accreting X-ray binary and a variable source of high energy gamma rays from 100 MeV to 1 TeV. The object has been extensively monitored with the…
Measurements of Flux Limits for TeV Emission from AGNs
P. M. Chadwick, K. Lyons, T. J. L. McComb +6
The University of Durham Mark 6 Telescope has been used to make observations of a number of AGNs visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Results are presented for limits to VHE gamma…
Correlation between the X-ray and TeV Gamma Ray Emission from an Accreting X-ray Binary
