STACEE Observation of Low-Frequency Peaked BL Lac Objects

We present the analysis and results of recent high-energy gamma-ray observations of two low frequency-peaked BL Lac objects, 3C 66A and W Comae, made with Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). The 3C 66A observations were …

Follow‐up Observations of Gamma‐ray Bursts with STACEE

STACEE is an atmospheric Cherenkov telescope using the large mirror area of a solar research facility to obtain a low energy threshold. The telescope has a peak in the detected signal of a power‐law gamma‐ray spectrum near 100 GeV. The low energy …

Recent AGN Observations by the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment

The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is a ground‐based atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for the detection of very high energy gamma rays from Galactic and extra‐galactic sources. By utilizing the large collection area …

Recent Observations of IC443 with the Whipple 10m Telescope

We present here the results of recent observations made with the Whipple 10m imaging Cherenkov telescope of the region of the supernova remnant IC443. No evidence for gamma‐ray emission was found, and we obtain an upper limit above 500 GeV (99.9% …

The VERITAS Prototype and the Upcoming VERITAS Array

The prototype for the VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array was successfully operated in southern Arizona between September 2003 and April 2004. The prototype consisted of 86 mirror facets mounted centrally on a 12‐meter dish, which …

The very high energy gamma ray spectra of IES 1959+650 and Mrk 421 as measured with the Whipple 10 m telescope

In observations made with the Whipple 10 m telescope, 1ES 1959+650 (*z* = 0.048) was caught in a high flaring state in May 2002, concurrent with a high X‐ray state, and in June 2002, for which there was no corresponding X‐ray flare. The spectra for …

Very High Energy Observations of Gamma Ray Bursts with the Whipple/VERITAS Telescopes

Gamma‐ray Burst (GRB) observations at Very High Energies (VHE, E 100 GeV) can impose tight constraints on some GRB emission models. Many GRB after‐glow models predict a VHE component similar to that seen in blazars and supernova remnants, in which …

GRB Observations around 100 GeV with STACEE

STACEE is an atmospheric Cherenkov detector using the large mirror area of a solar research facility to obtain a low energy threshold. The peak of a detected power law spectrum is around 100 GeV. An exciting possibility for STACEE is to follow up …

Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei by the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE)

We present new results from observations of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) by the STACEE experiment. STACEE is a detector for 50-500 GeV gamma rays which uses the array of heliostat mirrors at the National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF) located …

Observations of Starburst Galaxies

The search for TeV gamma-ray radiation from starburst galaxies (SBGs) has been conducted by the Whipple 10-m gamma-ray telescope from January 2001 to March 2003. The regions with high star formation rates (SFRs) observed in SBGs are frequently …
