TeV Gamma-ray signals from the Crab Nebula and Mkn 501 were detected with the HEGRA CT1 imaging Cerenkov telescope during periods when the moon was shining and during twilight. This was accomplished by lowering the high voltage supply of…

During 1997, the BL Lac Object Mkn 501 was the brightest known object in the TeV gamma-ray sky. The emission was characterized by dramatic variations in intensity with a mean flux exceeding by a factor of three the steady gamma-ray flux of…

Between March 16, 1997 and April 14, 1997, a high flux level of TeV gamma-rays was observed from Mkn 501, using the HEGRA stereoscopic system of four imaging Cherenkov telescopes. The flux level varied during this period from about one half…

The well-studied VHE (E >100 GeV) blazar Mrk 501 was observed between March and May 2008 as part of an extensive multiwavelength observation campaign including radio, optical, X-ray and VHE gamma-ray instruments. Mrk 501 was in a low state…

Since February 1997 the BL Lac object Mkn 501 is in a ``high state'' of gamma-ray emission. The HEGRA collaboration has studied Mkn 501 with their air Cherenkov telescopes on La Palma. Here we report on observations with the 5 m^2 telescope…

We report on observations of Markarian 421 made with the Whipple 10m Cerenkov telescope and the RXTE satellite during a multi-wavelength campaign in December 2002 and January 2003, initiated by a Whipple target of opportunity. The…

During more than 6 months in 1997, the BL Lac object Mkn 501 was in an exceptionally bright state, both in the X-ray band and in the Very High Energy (VHE) band. In this paper we present a multiwavelength study of Mkn 501 during this…

The COMPTEL experiment aboard the COMPTON Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) has observed the prominent TeV-blazars Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 many times between the start of its mission in April '91 and December '98. This paper reports first COMPTEL…

The gamma-ray emission above 250 GeV from the BL Lac object Markarian 421 was observed by the CAT Cherenkov imaging telescope between December, 1996, and June, 2000. In 1998, the source produced a series of small flares, making it the…

Since its commissioning in fall 1996, the stereoscopic system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACTs) of HEGRA with an energy threshold of 500 GeV, an angular resolution of 0.1 degree and an energy resolution of 20% per…

Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996. Our goal is to characterize in detail the source gamma-ray emission, together with the radio-to-X-ray emission,…

During 1997, the BL Lac object Mkn 501 went into an extraordinary state of high X-ray and TeV gamma-ray activity, lasting more than 6 months. In this paper we report on the TeV emission characteristics of the source in the subsequent years…

The MAGIC telescope took data of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the blazar Markarian 421 (Mkn 421) between November 2004 and April 2005. We present a combined analysis of data samples recorded under different observational…

The BL Lac object Mkn 501 was observed with the BeppoSAX satellite at three epochs in April-May 1998, simultaneously with the Whipple and HEGRA Cherenkov telescopes. The X-ray spectrum is well detected up to 70 keV and it exhibits, at all…

The TACTIC $\gamma$-ray telescope has observed Mrk 421 on 66 clear nights from Dec. 07, 2005 to Apr. 30, 2006, totalling $\sim$ 202 hours of on-source observations. Here, we report the detection of flaring activity from the source at $\geq$…

In 2006 the MAGIC telescope observed the well known very high energy (VHE, > 80 GeV) blazars Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 in the course of multi-wavelength campaigns, comprising measurements in the optical, X-ray and VHE regime. MAGIC performed…

The TACTIC gamma-ray telescope, equipped with a tracking light collector of $\sim$9.5m$^2$ area and a 349-pixel imaging camera has been in operation at Mount Abu in Western India since 2001. Having a sensitivity of detecting the Crab Nebula…

We report on a multiwavelength campaign on the TeV gamma-ray blazar Markarian (Mrk) 421 performed during December 2002 and January 2003. These target of opportunity observations were initiated by the detection of X-ray and TeV gamma-ray…

Only BL Lac objects have been detected as extragalactic sources of very high energy (E > 300 GeV) gamma rays. Using the Whipple Observatory Gamma-ray Telescope, we have attempted to detect more BL Lacs using three approaches. First, we have…

A detection of TeV $\gamma$-rays from Mkn 501 is reported, based on observations made between March and August 1996 with the first HEGRA Cherenkov telescope (CT1). From the image analysis, 351 excess candidate $\gamma$-ray events are…
