摘要： 大气切连科夫成像技术的发展，使得在200 GeV至50 TeV能量范围内的伽马射线探测灵敏度有了显著提高。 惠普尔天文台10米反射镜在北半球首次探测到了银河系和河外星系的源；蟹状星云已被确立为地面伽马射线天文学的标准烛光。 高度变源活动星系核马克里安421和马克里安501已被证明特别有趣。 新一代具有更高灵敏度的望远镜有望对物理学和天体物理学中的基本现象进行有趣的测量。 VERITAS（非常高能辐射成像望远镜阵列系统）就是这样一个下一代系统；它是一个由七台大型大气切连科夫望远镜组成的阵列，计划建在亚利桑那州南部的一个地点。 显示英文摘要

摘要： The development of the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique has led to significant advances in gamma-ray detection sensitivity in the energy range from 200 GeV to 50 TeV. The Whipple Observatory 10m reflector has detected the first galactic and extragalactic sources in the Northern Hemisphere; the Crab Nebula has been established as the standard candle for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy. The highly variable Active Galactic Nuclei, Markarian 421 and Markarian 501, have proved to be particularly interesting. A new generation of telescopes with improved sensitivity has the promise of interesting measurements of fundamental phenomena in physics and astrophysics. VERITAS (the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is one such next generation system; it is an array of seven large atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes planned for a site in southern Arizona.
