Conference: SF2A-2001 - Semaine de l'Astrophysique Française (Lyon, FR, 2001-05-28) Ref HAL: in2p3-00087398_v1 Ref Arxiv: astro-ph/0109286 Ref. & Cit.: NASA ADS Exporter : BibTex | endNote Abstract: To date, only two extragalactic objects have been firmly established as very high-energy gamma-ray sources in the Northern sky: these are the two blazars Markarian 501 and Markarian 421. This paper reviews the most striking results obtained from these sources by the CAT atmospheric Cherenkov imaging telescope, with a particular emphasis on the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 observation campaigns of Markarian 421. Comments: 4 pages, 5 figures, to appear in Proc. of the SF2A conference "Semaine de l'Astrophysique Francaise", May 28 - June 1st, 2001 (Lyon, France) - GAM |
