The Atmospheric Cherenkov Imaging Technique for Very High Energy Gamma-ray Astronomy
Trevor C. Weekes
The Atmospheric Cherenkov Imaging Technique has opened up the gamma-ray spectrumfrom 100 GeV to 50 TeV to astrophysical exploration. The development of the technique is described a…
Optical SETI with Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes
J. Holder, P. Ashworth, S. LeBohec +2
The idea of searching for optical signals from extraterrestrial civilizations has become increasingly popular over the last five years, with dedicated projects at a number of obser…
Evidence for TeV gamma ray emission from TeV J2032+4130 in Whipple archival data
M. J. Lang, D. A. Carter-Lewis, D. J. Fegan +6
A reanalysis of data taken on the Cygnus region in 1989-90 using the Whipple Observatory atmospheric Cherenkov imaging telescope confirms the existence of the TeV J2032+4130 source…
Whipple Observations of BL Lac Objects
M. D'Vali, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +23
Only BL Lac objects have been detected as extragalactic sources of very high energy (E > 300 GeV) gamma rays. Using the Whipple Observatory Gamma-ray Telescope, we have attempted t…
Hour-Scale Multiwavelength Variability in Markarian 421
M. Catanese, I. H. Bond, S. M. Bradbury +36
Markarian 421 was observed for about four days with BeppoSAX and the Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope in April 1998. A pronounced, well-defined, flare with hour-scale variab…
VHE gamma-ray observations of Markarian 501
Whipple Collaboration, A. C. Breslin, I. H. Bond +29
Markarian 501, a nearby (z=0.033) X-ray selected BL Lacertae object, is a well established source of Very High Energy (VHE, E>=300 GeV) gamma rays. Dramatic variability in its gamm…
