The CANGAROO-III telescope system for very-high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics consists of four 10 m atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located near Woomera, South Australia. The construction of the fourth telescope was completed in summer 2003, and stereoscopic observations with a local trigger system started in March 2004. Here we report on the status of the system and preliminary results from s...
متن کاملCANGAROO-II and CANGAROO-III
Preliminary results from CANGAROO-II, a 10 m imaging Cherenkov telescope, in Woomera, South Australia are presented. They include the confirmation of detections of TeV gamma-ray sources we have reported using a 3.8 m telescope, CANGAROO-I. Also the status of the construction of an array of four 10 m telescopes, called CANGAROO-III, is reported. The first telescope of the array was upgraded from...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Data Acquisition System for CANGAROO-III
In this paper we report the development of the data acquisition system (DAQ) of the CANGAROO-III imaging Cherenkov telescope. Multi-pixel cameras at the prime focus of the first and second 10m telescopes consist of 552 and 427 PMTs, respectively. The charge from each PMT is measured with a ADC and the time each PMT is triggered is measured by a TDC with a time resolution of 1 ns. Since these mo...
متن کاملRecent 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 an Atmospheric Cherenkov Imaging Camera for the CANGAROO–III Experiment and Perspective of the Field
CANGAROO–III is an experiment aiming at studying the properties of very high energy gamma rays from celestial objects in the southern sky. We use an array of 4 imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in Australia. The observation with the first telescope (CANGAROO–II) started in 1999 and the data have been analyzed. The second telescope was constructed in 2002 and stereoscopic observations sta...
