The third catalog of high-energy gamma-ray sources detected by the EGRET telescope on Compton Gamma Ray Observatory includes data from 1991 April 22 to 1995 October 3 (cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 mission). In addition including more than second its supplement, this uses completely reprocessed (to correct a number mostly minimal errors problems). 271 (E > 100 MeV) in include single solar flare bright enough be as source, Large Magellanic Cloud, five pulsars, one probable radio galaxy detection (Cen...

The Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Observatory (CGRO) has so far detected 51 blazars during phases 1, 2, and 3, cycle 4 of CGRO mission. We present here a summary these observations, including flux variations spectra blazars. high luminosities time seen in gamma-ray data indicate that gamma rays are an important component relativistic jet thought to characterize

The Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Observatory has been operating for over 7 yr since its launch in 1991 April. This span of time far exceeds design lifetime 2 yr. As instrument aged, several changes have occurred owing to spark chamber gas exchanges as well some hardware degradation and failures, all which an influence sensitivity. paper describes postlaunch measurements analysis that are done calibrate response functions. updated characteristics...

In the mid 1970’s Hawking (1) and Page (2), investigated theoretically possibility of detecting high-energy gamma rays produced by quantum-mechanical decay a small black hole created in early universe. They concluded that, at end life hole, it would radiate burst peaked near 250 MeV with total energy about 1034 ergs order microsecond or less if certain details theory were true. The characteristics are determined laws physics beyond range current particle accelerators; hence, search for these...
