Very high energy gamma rays from Markarian 501
R. J. Protheroe, C. L. Bhat, P. Fleury +3
During remarkable flaring activity in 1997 Markarian 501 was the brightest source in the sky at TeV energies, outshining the Crab Nebula by a factor of up to 10. Periods of flaring…
A Search for TeV Emission from Unidentified Sources in the Galactic Plane
J. H. Buckley, P. J. Boyle, S. M. Bradbury +24
The ~70 unidentified sources of the EGRET sky survey may be one of its most important legacies. The identification of these sources at other wavelengths is critical to understandin…
First Results from a Search for TeV Emission from BL Lacs
M. Catanese, P. J. Boyle, J. H. Buckley +22
Two active galactic nuclei have been detected at TeV energies using the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique. The Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope has been used to observ…
Constraints on Cosmic-Ray Origin Theories from TeV Gamma-Ray Observations
R. W. Lessard, P. J. Boyle, S. M. Bradbury +23
If supernova remnants (SNRs) are the sites of cosmic-ray acceleration, the associated nuclear interactions should result in observable fluxes of TeV gamma-rays from the nearest SNR…
Tev Observations of the Variability and Spectrum of Markarian 421
J. E. McEnery, I. H. Bond, P. J. Boyle +27
Markarian 421 was the first extragalactic source to be detected with high statistical certainty at TeV energies. The Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope has been used to observ…
