Observation of M87 at 400 GeV with the Whipple 10 Meter Telescope

We present results from observations taken with the Whipple 10 m very high energy gamma-ray telescope with maximal sensitivity at 400 GeV during 39 hr between 2000 and 2003 in the direction of the giant radio galaxy M87. Using the entire data set, we derive a 99% confidence level upper limit on the...

Zusammenfassung:We present results from observations taken with the Whipple 10 m very high energy gamma-ray telescope with maximal sensitivity at 400 GeV during 39 hr between 2000 and 2003 in the direction of the giant radio galaxy M87. Using the entire data set, we derive a 99% confidence level upper limit on the flux of gamma-ray emission above 400 GeV from M87 to be
