One of the main components of a TCCON instrument is the solar tracker, ...

Presented are a number of techniques to search for anisotropies in High Resolution Fly’s Eye stereo data collected to date. The method employed to search for point sources is that of shower density sky maps. An integrated version is used to search for larger anisotropies. Finally, large-scale anisotropies are investigated using a harmonic analysis designed to account for HiRes uneven exposure t...
