چکیده
Following the detection of strong TeV γ-ray flares from the BL Lac object 1ES 1959+650 with the Whipple 10 m Cherenkov telescope on May 16 and 17, 2002, we performed intensive Target of Opportunity (ToO) radio, optical, X-ray and TeV γ-ray observations from May 18, 2002 to August 14, 2002. Observations with the X-ray telescope RXTE (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer) and the Whipple and HEGRA (High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy) γ-ray telescopes revealed several strong flares, enabling us to sensitively test the X-ray/γ-ray flux Washington University in St. Louis, Physics Department, 1 Brookings Drive CB 1105,St. Louis, MO 63130 F.

We conducted a daily monitoring campaign on Mrk 421 in 2003 and 2004 with the Whipple 10 m telescope and the large-area instruments aboard RXTE, simultaneously covering TeV and X-ray energies. Supporting observations at optical and radio wavelengths were also frequently carried out. Mrk 421 was observed over a wide range of fluxes (with a dynamic range of ∼30 both at TeV and X-ray energies). Th...

TeV gamma rays from the blazar Markarian 501 have been detected with the University of Durham Mark 6 atmospherič Cerenkov telescope using the imaging technique at large zenith angles. Observations were made at zenith angles in the range 70 • − 73 • during 1997 July and August when Markarian 501 was undergoing a prolonged and strong flare.

A combination of spectral and moments analysis of the continuous X-ray flux data is used to show consistency of statistical properties of the powerful solar flares with 2D BTW prototype model of self-organized criticality.

We report the results of radio and X-ray observations of the high mass X-ray binary 2S 0114+650, made with the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope and the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer respectively. No emission was detected at radio wavelengths. The neutral hydrogen column density was found to vary over the orbital period, while no variability over the the super-orbital period was observed. We discus...
