摘要
Measurements of the flux of very-high-energy (> 1 TeV) gamma rays from the blazar 3C 66A obtained over four years are presented. The mean flux over the four-year period was (2.8 +/- 0.4) x 10(-11) cm(-2) s(-1). There is a correlation between the season-averaged flux of very-high-energy gamma rays and the observed optical radiation. (C) 2002 MAIK "Nauka/Interperiodica".
