چکیده

We report a search for radio continuum emission from the gamma-ray pulsar Geminga. We have used the VLA to image the location of the optical counterpart of Geminga at 74 and 326 MHz. We detect no radio counterpart. We derive upper limits to the pulse-averaged flux density of Geminga, taking diffractive scintillation into account. We find that diffractive scintillation is probably quenched at 74 MHz and does not influence our upper limit, S < 56 mJy (2σ), but that a 95% confidence level at 326 MHz is S < 5 mJy. Owing to uncertainties on the other low-frequency detections and the possibility of intrinsic variability or extrinsic variability (refractive interstellar scintillation) or both, our non-detections are nominally consistent with these previous detections. Subject headings: pulsars: individual (Geminga) — radio continuum: stars

We discuss an effect of the intergalactic absorption of the TeV γ-rays in time-averaged spectrum of Mkn 501 measured by the HEGRA collaboration. Analysis of the spectral behavior, variability time scale and relevant calculations of TeV γ-ray emission allow to conclude the presence of a noticeable absorption of the TeV γ-rays in the Mkn 501 energy spectrum.
