Observation of BL Lac type AGNs with the equatorial mounted HEGRA Cherenkov Telescope
Abstract
The first Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope of the HEGRA collaboration, CT1, has been used to observe BL Lac type objects. This equatorial mounted telescope is on account of the mirror configuration and the camera equipment especially suited for the observation of point sources, such as AGNs. In this paper we present the studies of the two objects 3C66A and MS 0116, which have been monitored by CT1 between August and December 1998. No evidence for TeV emission was found.
