    • Cutoff in the TeV Energy Spectrum of Markarian 421 During Strong Flares in 2001 

      Lang, Mark; Gillanders, Gary (2001)
      Exceptionally strong and long lasting flaring activity of the blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) occurred between January and March 2001. Based on the excellent signal-to-noise ratio of the data we derive the energy spectrum ...

      Lang, Mark; Gillanders, Gary (2002)
      A decade after the discovery of TeV gamma-rays from the blazar Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992), the list of TeV blazars has increased to five BL Lac objects: Mrk 421 (Punch et al. 1992; Petry et al. 1996; Piron et al. 2001), ...
    • A Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Spectrum of 1ES 2344+514 

      Lang, Mark; Gillanders, Gary (2005)
      The BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object 1ES 2344+514 (1ES 2344), at a redshift of 0.044, was discovered as a source of very high energy (VHE) gamma rays by the Whipple Collaboration in 1995 \citep{2344Catanese98}. This detection ...
    • Observations of the Unidentified TeV Gamma-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130 with the Whipple Observatory 10 m Telescope
