Status and Future of Ground-Based TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy
This is a report on the findings of the extragalactic science working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper was commissioned by the American Physical Society, and the full white paper can be found on astro-ph (arXiv:0810.0444). This detailed section discusses extragalactic science topics including active galactic nuclei, cosmic ray accele...
متن کاملRitchey - Chrétien telescope for ground - based γ - ray astronomy
The field of very high energy (VHE) ground-based γray astronomy, pioneered by the Whipple 10m atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (ACT) [ 1], is being revolutionized by the new generation observatories: H.E.S.S. [ 2], MAGIC [ 3], and VERITAS [ 4]. Dozens of new γray sources, some representing new classes of VHE emitters, have been discovered during the last decade [ 5]. If the trend of scientific d...
متن کاملTeV γ-ray Astronomy in the new Millennium
The field of TeV gamma-ray astronomy is reviewed with emphasis on its relation to the origin of cosmic rays. The discovery of TeV photons from supernova remnants and active galaxies has provided the first direct observational link between specific astrophysical objects and particle production at the TeV scale. TeV γ-ray observations constrain the high end of the electromagnetic spectrum, a regi...
متن کاملTeV Gamma Ray Astronomy
The field of ground-based gamma ray astronomy has enjoyed rapid growth in recent years. As an increasing number of sources are detected at TeV energies, the field has matured and become a viable branch of modern astronomy. Lying at the uppermost end of the electromagnetic rainbow, TeV photons are always preciously few in number but carry essential information about the particle acceleration and...
متن کاملMilagrito, a TeV air-shower array
Milagrito, a large, covered water-Cherenkov detector, was the world's "rst air-shower-particle detector sensitive to cosmic gamma rays below 1 TeV. It served as a prototype for the Milagro detector and operated from February 1997 to May 1998. This paper gives a description of Milagrito, a summary of the operating experience, and early results that demonstrate the capabilities of this technique....
