Very High Energy Gamma Rays from Markarian 501

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 activity each lasting a few days were observed simultaneously by several gamma ray telescopes. Contemporaneous multiwavelength observations in April 1997 show that a substantial fraction of the total AGN power is at ...

TeV OBSERVATIONS OF THE VARIABILITY AND SPECTRUM OF MARKARIAN 421

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 observe the Active Galactic Nucleus, Markarian 421 in 1996 and 1997. The rapid variability observed in TeV gamma rays in previous years is confirmed. Doubling times as short as 15 minutes are reported with flux levels reach...

Very High Energy Gamma Rays Frommarkarian

During remarkable aring 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 aring activity each lasting a few days were observed simultaneously by several gamma ray telescopes. Contemporaneous multiwavelength observations in April 1997 show that a substantial fraction of the total AGN power is at TeV ...

The size of the emission region of VHE gamma rays in the Crab Nebula

The HEGRA system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes provides for specially selected classes of events an angular resolution of better than 3'. By comparing the measured angular distribution of TeV gamma rays from the Crab Nebula with the distribution expected on the basis of Monte Carlo simulations, and with measurements of gamma rays from the point source Mrk 501, we conclude that the...

First Results from a Search for Tev Emission from Bl Lacs out to Z=0.2

Two active galactic nuclei have been detected at TeV energies using the atmospheric Čerenkov imaging technique. The Whipple Observatory γ-ray telescope has been used to observe all the BL Lacertae objects in the northern hemisphere out to a redshift of 0.1. We report the tentative detection of VHE emission from a third BL Lac object, 1ES 2344+514. Progress in extending this survey out to z=0.2 ...
