Energy Spectrum of Gamma Rays from the Crab Nebula, According to Data from the TAIGA Astrophysical Complex

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

An analysis is performed of the spectrum of gamma rays from the Crab Nebula in the 4–100 TeV range of energies, obtained using data from two Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes that are part of the TAIGA complex. A way of selecting and restoring the energy of gamma rays is described that includes a procedure for restoring the energy spectrum.
