| Abstract: | Summary We present the results of a search for very high energy γ-rays (E
γ≈100 TeV) from SN 1987A between August 1987 and May 1988. No counting rate excess from the source is observed. The larger
enhancement is seen in January 1988, but is statistically not significant (1.4 s.d.). The derived upper limits to the γ-ray
and proton luminosities of the SN areL
γ≤1.9·1040 erg/s andL
p≤1.2·1042 erg/s.
To speed up publication, the proofs were not sent to the authors and were supervised by the Scientific Committee. |
