利用VERITAS进行Blazar观测

Blazar Observations with VERITAS

H. Krawczynski

摘要:

甚高能辐射成像望远镜阵列系统(VERITAS)是一个由四个直径为12米的成像大气切伦科夫技术(IACT)望远镜组成的阵列,运行在珠穆朗玛峰脚下。南亚利桑那州的霍普金斯大学。四望远镜实验于2007年4月开始运行。对耀变体的GeV和TeV伽马射线观测可以用来探测其喷流的结构和成分,并有助于我们理解超大质量黑洞如何吸积物质。在这篇文章中,我们提出了第一个VERITAS blazar的结果获得了三个和四个望远镜。

英文摘要:

The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) is an array of four 12m diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) telescopes operated at the base of Mt. Hopkins in southern Arizona. The four-telescope experiment started operation in April, 2007. GeV and TeV gamma-ray observations of blazars can be used to probe the structure and composition of their jets, and to contribute to our understanding of how supermassive black holes accrete matter. In this contribution, we present first VERITAS blazar results obtained with three and four telescopes.
