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…

Detection of Vhe Gamma-Rays from MRK 501 with the Cat Imaging Telescope

A. Barrau, R. Bazer-Bachi, H. Cabot +33

The CAT imaging telescope on the site on the former solar plant Themis has been observing gamma-rays from Mrk501 above 220 GeV in March and April 1997. This source is shown to be h…
