摘要:

最近在前太阳能发电厂Themis(法国比利牛斯山)的场址上建造的CAT成象望远镜从1996年10月至1997年3月观测了蟹状星云的伽马射线。这个稳定的源,通常被认为是甚高能伽马射线天文学的标准烛光,被用作测试光束,以探测新望远镜的性能,特别是其能量阈值(20度天顶角时为220 GeV)及其响应的稳定性。由于细粒度的相机,淋浴图像的纵向轮廓的准确分析进行,产生的源位置在两个维度为每个单独的淋浴。

英文摘要:

The CAT imaging telescope, recently built on the site of the former solar plant Themis (French Pyrenees), observed gamma-rays from the Crab nebula from October 1996 to March 1997. This steady source, often considered as the standard candle of very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy, is used as a test-beam to probe the performances of the new telescope, particularly its energy threshold (220 GeV at 20 degrees zenith angle) and the stability of its response. Due to the fine-grain camera, an accurate analysis of the longitudinal profiles of shower images is performed, yielding the source position in two dimensions for each individual shower.
