On the correlation between the very-high-energy gamma-ray and X-ray fluxes from the blazar 3C 66A
Abstract
We consider the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the blazar 3C 66A with the GT-48 Cherenkov telescope in the period 2002 2004 in comparison with the quasi-simultaneous ASM/RXTE observations in the energy range 2 10 keV. We show that there are positive correlations between the VHE gamma-ray and X-ray fluxes from this object recorded in the observing periods of 2002 2004.
