The active galaxy Markarian 421 underwent a substantial outburst in early 2001. Between January and May of that year, the STACEE detector was used to observe the source in gamma-rays between the energies of 50 and 500 GeV. These observations represent the lowest energy gamma-ray detection of this outburst by a ground-based experiment. Here we present results from these observations, which indicate an average integral gamma-ray flux of (8.0 +/- 0.7 +/- 1.5)x10^-10 1/cm^2/s. above 140 GeV. We also present a light curve for Markarian 421 as observed by STACEE from March to May, and compare our temporal, as well as spectral, measurements to those of other experiments.
The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cerenkov (MAGIC) telescope participated in three multiwavelength (MWL) campaigns, observing the blazar Markarian (Mkn) 421 during the nights of 2006 April 28, 29, and 2006 June 14. We analyzed the corresponding MAG
The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is an atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (ACT) that uses a large mirror array to achieve a relatively low energy threshold. For sources with Crab-like spectra, at high elevations, the dete
We present the results of extensive modeling of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the closest blazar (z=0.031) Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) during a giant outburst in February 2010. The source underwent rapid flux variations in both X-rays and v
Markarian 501, a nearby (z=0.033) X-ray selected BL Lacertae object, is a well established source of Very High Energy (VHE, E>=300 GeV) gamma rays. Dramatic variability in its gamma-ray emission on time-scales from years to as short as two hours has
We report on observations of the blazar W Comae (ON+231) with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE), a wavefront-sampling atmospheric Cherenkov telescope, in the spring of 2003. In a data set comprising 10.5 hours of ON-sou
