Application of two-dimensional imaging to very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy, May 1, 1983-April 30, 1984
Description
Significant progress has been made on the development of the fast large-aperture camera on the 10m reflector on Mt. Hopkins at Whipple Observatory. Preliminary observations with the 19-element camera show that the camera behaves as predicted. We propose to expand the camera to 37 elements and to recoat the mirrors of the 10m reflector. An additional 3m reflector (supplied by Iowa State University) will be added to the system to improve its angular discrimination. The camera will be used in the winter of 1983-1984 in an extensive series of observations of candidate gamma-ray sources
