Very High Energy Gamma-ray Observations of AGN with CANGAROO

Kyoshi Nishijima

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia 19(1) 26 - 28

Abstract

We have observed eight AGN since 1993 in the energy region above several hundred GeV using the CANGAROO telescopes. We observed Mrk 421 for ten nights with the CANGAROO-II 10 m telescope during its active state in early 2001 using the very large zenith angle technique. Our preliminary result implies the detection of gamma-ray emission from Mrk 421 in the energy range above 9.3 TeV. The high energy peaked BL Lacs (HBLs) PKS 2005–489 and PKS 2155–304 have been also observed. No statistically significant signals are found for both HBLs and flux upper limits are obtained. A summary of results of observations of AGN is presented in this paper.

Keywords: BL Lacertae objects: individual (Mrk 421, PKS 2005– 489, PKS 2155– 304) — galaxies: active — gamma rays: observations
