The HEGRA Experiment Status and Recent Results
نویسندگان
چکیده
A report is given on the status and recent results from the HEGRA imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) concerning Mrk 501 and GRS 1915+105 and on recent results from the HEGRA arrays concerning galactic and extragalactic γ-sources, counterparts of TeV Gamma-Ray-Bursts, cosmic ray anisotropies, energy spectrum and composition of primary cosmic rays. The report summarizes the presentations given at the 15 European Cosmic Ray Symposium 1996.

متن کامل1407: New Results of the HEGRA Air Shower Detector Complex
Recent highlight results obtained with the air shower detector complex HEGRA at the Canary island La Palma are presented. Observations and searches for γ sources above an energy of 500 GeV are covered, where special emphasis is put on the recent flaring activities of the Blazar Mkn 501. A second main research topic of the experiment is the measurement of the energy spectrum and the elemental co...
متن کاملStatus and Selected Recent Results of the HEGRA Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes
The status of the HEGRA imaging air Cherenkov telescopes is summarized. We present results from a survey of the Galactic plane for point sources with a limiting flux of approximately a third of the flux seen from the Crab Nebula. For Mkn 421 (z = 0.031) we present the detection of spectral variability correlated with the flux. Finally, we summarize results of observations carried out on the mos...
متن کاملSearch for TeV Counterparts of Gamma-Ray Bursts with the HEGRA Experiment
The HEGRA experiment is an air shower detector system for the study of neutral and charged cosmic rays in the energy range between 500 GeV to 10 PeV. Here we give an overview of how the HEGRA detector is used to search for TeV γradiation associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) registered with the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. Furthermo...
