The high energy astronomy observatories
13th Annual Meeting and Technical Display Incorporating the Forum on the Future of Air Transportation, 1977The forthcoming NASA project of orbiting High Energy Astronomy Observatories (HEAO's) designed to probe the universe by tracing celestial radiations and particles is outlined. Solutions to engineering problems concerning HEAO's which are integrated, yet built to function independently are discussed, including the onboard digital processor, mirror ...

High-energy neutrino astronomy
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2010The field of astroparticle physics entered in a flourishing period thanks to the operation of several experiments that lead to the discovery and even identification of about hundred cosmic TeV gamma-ray sources and measurement of the Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic-Ray flux.

Very high energy gamma ray astronomy
AIP Conference Proceedings, 1988Abstract Current interest in gamma-astronomy at energies above 100 GeV comes from the identification of Cygnus X-3 and other X-ray binaries as sources. In addition there are reports of emission from radio pulsars and a variety of other objects. The statistical significance of many of the observations is not high and many reported effects await ...

1989
Techniques of Ultra High Energy astronomy are reviewed in this lecture. Sensitivity of experiments currently underway or planned for the near future is discussed. Recent results from the CYGNUS experiment with regard to steady emission from sources such as Cygnus X-3 and Herculus X-l are compared with those from other experiments.

High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1963The search for gamma radiation with energy greater than 50 Mev from extraterrestrial sources has resulted in some of the most interesting and most difficult balloon and spacecraft experiments. The present status of this search is reviewed. The first attempt to detect this radiation from solar flares resulted in no increase of the counting rate above ...

High Energy Astronomy Observatory Program
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1978Abstract This paper describes the series of three orbiting high energy astronomy observatories that comprise the High Energy Astronomy Observatory (HEAO) program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The basis and enthusiasm of the scientific community for this program is presented.

High Energy Cosmic Ray Astronomy
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 1996A brief introduction to High Energy Cosmic Ray Astronomy is presented. This field covers a 17 decade energy range (2×10 4 – 10 20 ) eV. Recent discoveries done with gamma-ray detectors on-board satellites and ground-based Cherenkov devices are pushing for a fast development of new and innovative techniques, specially in the low energy region which ...

Cosmic Rays: High Energy Astronomy
1969To-day one investigates primary cosmic rays, before they have started to interact with the material of the Earth’s atmosphere, by use of balloons, rockets and artificial satellites. They include protons, α-particles and heavy nuclei. By means of tracks in photographic emulsions, one can determine their charge-number Z and then one finds the following ...

High energy neutrino astronomy: first light
Nuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2001Abstract We review: 1. The compelling case for doing neutrino astronomy, 2. Why we anticipate that we need kilometer-scale observatories to do the science, 3. The recent successful commissioning of the Lake Baikal and South Pole neutrino detectors.
