Description

Data collected with the Cerenkov telescope at the Haleakala Gamma Observatory have been analyzed in an effort to establish evidence for emission of VHE γ-rays for a number of candidate sources. Brief episodes of emission from Her X-1 have been detected. The results from searches for emission from other sources, which has not been detected by our group, are discussed. Continued observations with an upgraded telescope facility are currently underway. (orig.)
