ICRC 2001 The CANGAROO - III Project : Status report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on the status of the construction of an array of four 10 m atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for gamma-ray astronomy, near Woomera, in South Australia – the CANGAROO-III project. The first telescope of this array is the upgraded version of the CANGAROO-II 7 m telescope and has been in operation since March 2000. The second telescope, an improved version of the first, is being constructed for installation in late 2001. Stereoscopic observation of sub TeV gamma-rays with the two 10 m telescopes will begin in 2002 and the full array will be operational in 2004.

Recent Status of Cangaroo-iii Project
In 2000 CANGAROO-II 7m telescope has been improved to a 10m telescope, and the CANGAROO-III project has been begun. The CANGAROO-III is a project to study celestial gamma rays above 0.1 TeV with an array of four 10m Imaging Air Cerenkov T elescopes (IACTs) in the southern hemisphere. Here we report on the status of CANGAROO-III project including the observations using the rst telescope
متن کاملStatus of the CANGAROO-III Project
The CANGAROO-III project, a system of four 10 m telecopes dedicated for gamma-ray astrophysics, has started in 1999 and is expected to complete in 2004 in Woomera, South Australia. We report the construction work during the first year, which includes the completion of the first 10 m telescope built as a 7 m telescope in 1999, and the work in progess to increase the performance by constructing t...
متن کاملICRC 2001 Likelihood Analysis of sub-TeV Gamma-rays from RXJ1713-39 with CANGAROO-II
We have detected gamma-rays from RXJ1713−39 in the energy range between 400 GeV and 5 TeV using a new kind of analysis: likelihood analysis. The statistical significance of the measurement is greater than 8 σ. The details of this analysis method are presented.
