摘要
Observations have been made, using the University of Durham Mark 6 gamma-ray telescope, of the very high energy gamma-ray emission from a number of active galactic nuclei visible from the Southern Hemisphere. Limits are presented to the very high energy gamma-ray emission from 1ES 0323 + 022, PKS 0829 + 046, 1ES 1101 - 232, Cen A, PKS 1514 - 24, RX J10578 - 275, and 1ES 2316 - 423, both for steady long-term emission and for outbursts of emission on timescales of 1 day.
