摘要:

本文介绍了利用太阳塔大气切伦科夫效应实验(STACEE)对高能量峰值BL Lac(HBL)天体1ES 1218+304进行高能γ射线观测的分析和结果。1ES 1218+304是一颗X射线明亮的高亮度星系,红移z=0.182。它被预测是一个超过100 GeV的伽马射线发射体,可以被地面的切伦科夫望远镜探测到。最近,MAGIC和VERITAS探测到了这个源,证实了这些预测。STACEE对能量超过100 GeV的天体物理源的敏感性使其能够探索高能量源,如X射线明亮的活动星系和伽马射线暴。我们目前的结果从STACEE观测1ES 1218+304在2006年和2007年的观测季节。

英文摘要:

We present the analysis and results of recent high-energy gamma-ray observations of the high energy-peaked BL Lac (HBL) object 1ES 1218+304 with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). 1ES 1218+304 is an X-ray bright HBL at a redshift z=0.182. It has been predicted to be a gamma-ray emitter above 100 GeV, detectable by ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. Recently this source has been detected by MAGIC and VERITAS, confirming these predictions. STACEE's sensitivity to astrophysical sources at energies above 100 GeV allows it to explore high energy sources such as X-ray bright active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. We present results from STACEE observations of 1ES 1218+304 in the 2006 and 2007 observing seasons.
