Observations of Mkn 421 during 1997 and 1998 in the energy range above 500 GeV with the HEGRA stereoscopic Cherenkov telescope system

Since its commissioning in fall 1996, the stereoscopic system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) of HEGRA, with an energy flux sensitivity ν Fν at 1 TeV of 10−11 erg cm−2 s−1 for one hour of observation time, has been used to monitor the BL Lac object Mkn 421 on a regular basis. In t...
