Abstract
The results of a search for TeV gamma-ray emission from 35 active galactic nuclei (AGNS) using the Whipple Observatory High Resolution Atmospheric Cerenkov Camera are reported. Fifteen of these objects have been detected at GeV energies by the EGRET experiment on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. None of the 35 objects gave a signal at the 3 sigma level; Mrk 421 remains the only AGN detected at TeV energies. The absence of a TeV signal may imply a change in the primary source spectrum and/or the effect of absorption by pair production on intergalactic infrared photons.
