Variations of the TeV energy spectrum at different flux levels of Mkn 421 observed with the HEGRA system of Cherenkov telescopes

HEGRA Collaboration, F. Aharonian

The nearby BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object Markarian~421 (Mkn~421) at a red shift z=0.031 was observed to undergo strong TeV Gamma-ray outbursts in the observational periods from Decem…

A study of Tycho's SNR at TeV energies with the HEGRA CT-System

F. A. Aharonian, A. G. Akhperjanian, J. A. Barrio +1

Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) was observed during 1997 and 1998 with the HEGRA Cherenkov Telescope System in a search for gamma-ray emission at energies above ~1 TeV. An analysis…

Reanalysis of the high energy cutoff of the 1997 Mkn 501 TeV energy spectrum

HEGRA Collaboration, F. Aharonian

Data taken with the HEGRA system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes during the 1997 flares of Mkn 501 are reanalyzed using an algorithm providing improved energy resolutio…

The TeV Energy Spectrum of Mkn 501 Measured with the Stereoscopic Telescope System of HEGRA during 1998 and 1999

The HEGRA Collaboration, F. Aharonian, A. Akhperjanian +1

During 1997, the BL Lac object Mkn 501 went into an extraordinary state of high X-ray and TeV gamma-ray activity, lasting more than 6 months. In this paper we report on the TeV emi…

Detection of VHE Gamma-rays from Mkn 421 with the HEGRA Cherenkov Telescopes

D. Petry, S. M. Bradbury, A. Konopelko +1

A detection of Gamma-rays from Mkn 421 at energies above 1 TeV is reported, based on observations made in December 1994 - May 1995 with the first two HEGRA Cherenkov telescopes. >F…
