We report the observation of TeV gamma-rays from the Cygnus region using the ARGO-YBJ data collected from 2007 November to 2011 August. Several TeV sources are located in this region including the two bright extended MGRO J2019+37 and MGRO…
Microquasars with high-mass companion stars are promising very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emitters, but their behaviors above 10 TeV are poorly known. Using the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, we search for…
Since 1996, the CAT experiment, operating at the THEMIS site (French Pyrenees), has been collecting Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray data from the Crab. The temporal analysis of photon arrival times folded with the pulsar parameters did not…
We present an analysis of 17 years of Fermi-LAT observations of the microquasar SS~433. We detect four GeV sources in the region: a newly identified source, PS J1910+0550, located outside W50; the previously reported source J1913+0512; and…
In this paper we present our study of the gamma-ray emission from the microquasar SS433. Integrating over 9 years of Fermi-LAT \textsc{pass8} data, we detect SS433 with a significance of ~13$\sigma$ in the 200 to 500 MeV photon energy…
We report the observation of a very high energy \gamma-ray source, whose position is coincident with HESS J1841-055. This source has been observed for 4.5 years by the ARGO-YBJ experiment from November 2007 to July 2012. Its emission is…
The continuum high-energy gamma-ray emission between 1 GeV and 100 TeV from the Crab Nebula has been measured for the first time in overlapping energy bands by the Fermi large-area telescope (Fermi/LAT) below ~ 100 GeV and by ground-based…
The massive binary system Eta Carinae and the surrounding HII complex, the Carina Nebula, are potential particle acceleration sites from which very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) \gamma-ray emission could be expected. This paper presents…
We report preliminary results of a multi-frequency campaign on the TeV candidate blazar W Comae (z=0.102). Flux limits by Whipple and HEGRA show that the TeV flux must be considerably below an E^-2 extrapolation of the EGRET flux. In the…
In 1989, the Whipple 10m telescope achieved the first indisputable detection of a TeV gamma-ray source, the Crab Nebula. Until its decommissioning in 2011, the Whipple telescope took regular measurements of the nebula. With the recent…
We report on TeV gamma-ray observations of the blazar Mrk 421 (redshift of 0.031) with the VERITAS observatory and the Whipple 10m Cherenkov telescope. The excellent sensitivity of VERITAS allowed us to sample the TeV gamma-ray fluxes and…
The resolution power of current Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes is presently restricted to scales of a few arcminutes. In the very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray regime, the measurement of source sizes that are comparable…
Young core-collapse supernovae with dense-wind progenitors may be able to accelerate cosmic-ray hadrons beyond the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum, and this may result in measurable gamma-ray emission. We searched for gamma-ray emission…
Cen X-3 is a well-studied high-mass accreting X-ray binary and a variable source of high energy gamma rays from 100 MeV to 1 TeV. The object has been extensively monitored with the University of Durham Mark 6 telescope. Results of…
The region around PSR B1706-44 has been observed with the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in 2003. No evidence for gamma-ray emission in the TeV range was found at the pulsar position or at the radio arc which corresponds…
We investigate hadronic and leptonic scenarios for the GeV--TeV gamma-ray emission from jets of the microquasar SS 433. The emission region of the TeV photons coincides with the X-ray knots, where electrons are efficiently accelerated. On…
In this paper, we present results of TeV $\gamma$--ray observations of the high synchrotron peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 (z=0.182) with the $TACTIC$ (TeV Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope with Imaging Camera). The observations are…
SS 433 is a microquasar whose relativistic jets precess every ~162 days, providing a laboratory for jet-interstellar medium interactions. We present a comprehensive analysis of 16 years of Fermi Large Area Telescope data (August…
The Crab Nebula is a bright emitter of non-thermal radiation across the entire accessible range of wavelengths. The spatial and spectral structures of the synchrotron nebula are well-resolved from radio to hard X-ray emission. The un-pulsed…
