HX-POL - A Balloon-Borne Hard X-Ray Polarimeter
H. Krawczynski, A. Garson, Q. Li +10
We report on the design and estimated performance of a balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter called HX-POL. The experiment uses a combination of Si and Cadmium Zinc Telluride detect…
VERITAS Discovery of >200GeV Gamma-ray Emission from the Intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lac Object W Comae
VERITAS Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu +80
We report the detection of very high-energy gamma-ray emission from the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object W Comae (z=0.102) by VERITAS. The source was observed betwe…
VERITAS Observations of the gamma-Ray Binary LS I +61 303
V. A. Acciari, M. Beilicke, G. Blaylock +74
LS I +61 303 is one of only a few high-mass X-ray binaries currently detected at high significance in very high energy gamma-rays. The system was observed over several orbital cycl…
Observation of gamma-ray emission from the galaxy M87 above 250 GeV with VERITAS
V. A. Acciari, M. Beilicke, G. Blaylock +74
The multiwavelength observation of the nearby radio galaxy M87 provides a unique opportunity to study in detail processes occurring in Active Galactic Nuclei from radio waves to Te…
Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 in March 2001: an Unprecedented View on the X-ray/TeV Correlated Variability
G. Fossati, J. H. Buckley, I. H. Bond +26
(Abridged) We present a detailed analysis of week-long simultaneous observations of the blazar Mrk421 at 2-60 keV X-rays (RXTE) and TeV gamma-rays (Whipple and HEGRA) in 2001. The…
Lyman Break Galaxies in the VLT/FORS2 spectroscopic campaign in the GOODS-S field
E. Vanzella, S. Cristiani, M. Dickinson +5
We present initial results from our ongoing campaign of spectroscopic identifications of Lyman--break galaxies (LBGs) at z ~ 4, 5 and 6 with FORS2 at the ESO VLT. The sample of LBG…
