A Search for Brief Optical Flashes Associated with the SETI Target KIC 8462852

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +78

The F-type star KIC 8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) observations. We describe an analysis methodol…

Observation of Markarian 421 in TeV gamma rays over a 14-year time span

V. A. Acciari, T. Arlen, T. Aune +73

The variability of the blazar Markarian 421 in TeV gamma rays over a 14-year time period has been explored with the Whipple 10 m telescope. It is shown that the dynamic range of it…

Very High Energy Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Locations with the Whipple Telescope

D. Horan, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +56

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations at very high energies (VHE, E > 100 GeV) can impose tight constraints on some GRB emission models. Many GRB afterglow models predict a VHE compon…
