X-ray/TeV-gamma-ray observations of several strong flares of Mkn 501 during 1997 and implications
During more than 6 months in 1997, the BL Lac object Mkn 501 was in an exceptionally bright state, both in the X-ray band and in the Very High Energy (VHE) band. In this paper we present a multiwavelength study of Mkn 501 during this extraordinary outburst. We describe the analysis of a data base of X-ray observations acquired with the pointed X-ray telescopes on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Ex...
متن کاملExtragalactic Gamma - Ray Absorption and the Intrinsic Spectrum of Mkn 501 during the 1997 Flare
Using the recent models of Malkan & Stecker (2001) for the infrared background radiation and extrapolating them into the optical and UV range using recent galaxy count data, we rederive the optical depth of the Universe to high energy γ-rays as a function of energy and redshift for energies betweeen 50 GeV and 100 TeV and redshifts between 0.03 and 0.3. We then use these results to derive the i...
متن کاملTime Dependent Modeling of the Markarian 501 X - ray and TeV Gamma - Ray Data Taken
If the high-energy emission from TeV blazars is produced by the Synchrotron SelfCompton (SSC) mechanism, then simultaneous X-ray and Gamma-ray observations of these objects are a powerful probe of the electron (and/or positron) populations responsible for this emission. Understanding the emitting particle distributions and their evolution in turn allow us to probe physical conditions in the inn...
متن کاملSEARCH FOR TeV COUNTERPARTS IN GAMMA RAY BURSTS
Based on BACODINE network notification the Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope has been used to search for the delayed TeV counterpart to BATSE-detected gamma-ray bursts. In the fast slew mode, any point in the sky can be reached within two minutes of the burst notification. The search strategy, necessary because of the uncertainty in burst position and limited FOV of the camera, is described.
متن کاملTeV Gamma Ray Astronomy
The field of ground-based gamma ray astronomy has enjoyed rapid growth in recent years. As an increasing number of sources are detected at TeV energies, the field has matured and become a viable branch of modern astronomy. Lying at the uppermost end of the electromagnetic rainbow, TeV photons are always preciously few in number but carry essential information about the particle acceleration and...
