  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

A search has been performed for (1013÷1014) eV gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula and Pulsar. Upper limits are derived for the continuous, periodic and sporadic emissions.

Riassunto

Si è condotto un esperimento per la ricerca di emissione gamma di energiaE 0=(1013÷1014) eV dalla Nebulosa e dalla Pulsar del Granchio. Si riportano limiti superiori a questo flusso per le componenti continua, periodica e sporadica.

Резюме

Проводятся поиски гамма-излучения с энергией (1013÷1014) эВ из Крабовидной туманности и пульсара. Определяются верхние пределы для непрерывного, периодического и спорадического излучения.
