Very high-energy gamma-ray sources as seen by the CAT imaging telescope

Abstract

To date, only three objects have been firmly established as very high-energy gamma-ray sources in the Northern sky: the Crab nebula, which is a plerion, and the two blazars Markarian 501 and Markarian 421. This paper reviews the most striking results obtained for these sources by the CAT atmospheric Cherenkov imaging telescope.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Proc. of the 36th Rencontres de Moriond on "Very High-Energy Phenomena in the Universe'' (Les Arcs, France
