Status 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...
متن کاملDesign Study of CANGAROO-III, Stereoscopic Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes for sub-TeV Gamma-ray Detection
CANGAROO-III is an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) array of four 10 m telescopes for very high energy (sub-TeV) gamma-ray astronomy. A design study of Preprint submitted to Elsevier Preprint 1 August 2001 the CANGAROO-III telescope system was carried out using the Monte Carlo technique in order to optimize the pixel size and the telescope spacing. Studies were also made of observ...
متن کاملCangaroo Masaki Mori for the Cangaroo-ii,iii Team ∗
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 کاملTeV Gamma-Ray Observations of Southern Hemisphere BL Lacertae Objects with CANGAROO-II/III Telescope
Since 1999, several BL Lac objects, such as PKS 2155–304 (z=0.116) and PKS 2005–489 (z=0.072) have been observed with the CANGAROO-II imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope. We obtained flux upper limits for these objects. Here we present the results of our observations of these objects, particularly those observed since 2000, and discuss the implications for the emission models and the absorp...
متن کاملAn Alignment System for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
The reflector used by an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (IACT) consists of a tessellated array of mirrors mounted on a large frame. This arrangement allows for a very large reflecting surface with sufficient optical quality for the implementation of the IACT technique at a moderate price. The main challenge presented by such a reflector is maintaining the optical quality, which depends...
