Mirror Development for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
A. Förster, T. Armstrong, H. Baba +53
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a planned observatory for very-high energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will consist of several tens of telescopes of different sizes, with a tota…
Discovery of very high energy gamma-rays from the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 with the MAGIC telescope
M. Errando, R. Bock, D. Kranich +8
3C 279 is one of the best studied flat spectrum radio quasars located at a comparatively large redshift of z = 0.536. Observations in the very high energy band of such distant sour…
Observation of very high energy gamma-rays from the AGN 1ES 2344+514 in a low emission state with the MAGIC telescope
J. Albert et al.
The MAGIC collaboration has observed very high energy gamma ray emission from the AGN 1ES 2344+514. A gamma-ray signal corresponding to an 11 sigma excess and an integral flux of (…
Development of Atmospheric Monitoring System at Akeno Observatory for the Telescope Array Project
T. Yamamoto, M. Teshima, M. Chikawa +6
We have developed an atmospheric monitoring system for the Telescope Array experiment at Akeno Observatory. It consists of a Nd:YAG laser with an alt-azimuth shooting system and a…
Extension of the Cosmic-Ray Energy Spectrum Beyond the Predicted Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min Cutoff
M. Takeda, N. Hayashida, K. Honda +25
The cosmic-ray energy spectrum above 10^{18.5} eV is reported using the updated data set of the Akeno Giant Air Shower Array (AGASA) from February 1990 to October 1997. The energy…
Observations of TeV gamma ray flares from Markarian 501 with the Telescope Array Prototype
Telescope Array Collaboration
We will report the observations of TeV gamma ray flares from Markarian 501 using Telescope Array Prototype. The observation were carried out continuously from the end of March to t…
