GAMMA-RAYS of TeV ENERGY FROMPLERIONS ANDRESULTS OF CANGAROO PROJECT
نویسنده
چکیده
Copious production of electrons and positrons results in very high energy gamma-rays from the sources such as pulsar nebulae and supernova remnants. The emission at TeV energies is characterized and controlled by the interaction of high energy photons and electrons. The radiation of electrons links the TeV region tightly to the other bands, giving us the means of `multiwavelengths analysis' to investigate production, acceleration and interaction of energetic particles. The absoption of TeV gamma-rays due to creation of electron and positron pairs puts constraints on the emission size of detectable sources. The point-like source of gamma-rays by proton progenitor still remains to be uncovered.

TeV Gamma Ray Emission from Southern Sky Objects and CANGAROO Project
We report recent results of the CANGAROO Collaboration on very high energy gamma ray emission from pulsars, their nebulae, SNR and AGN in the southern sky. Observations are made in South Australia using the imaging technique of detecting atmospheric Cerenkov light from gamma rays higher than about 1 TeV. The detected gamma rays are most likely produced by the inverse Compton process by electron...
متن کاملTeV GAMMA RAYS FROM PLERIONS AND RESULTS OF CAN- GAROO PROJECT T. Kifune for CANGAROO Group
Ground-based detection of very high energy gamma rays at Tev energies is discussed by using as example the emission from pulsar nebulae and supernova remnants. Copious production of electrons and positrons characterizes the point sources of gamma rays, and the radiation of electrons links TeV region tightly to the other bands, giving us the means of the `multi-wavelengths analysis' to investiga...

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 کاملObservation of TeV gamma rays from the NE-rim of SN1006 with CANGAROO-II 10m telescope
Observation of the North East (NE) rim of SN1006 has been carried out using the CANGAROO-II 10m telescope in April and May 2000. The observation time is 55.2 and 48.8 hours, ONand OFF-source runs, respectively. We have confirmed TeV Gamma-ray emission from the NE-rim. The energy threshold of the observed flux is estimated to be around 1 TeV by the Monte Carlo simulation assuming the inverse Com...
