摘要
Observations made with the University of Durham Mark 6 atmospheric Cerenkov telescope confirm that PSR B1706-44 is a VHE gamma-ray emitter. The gamma-ray flux has been measured at 250 GeV, and suggests a spectral dope that is consistent with extrapolation from the sub-10 GeV region. There is no indication from our dataset that the VHE gamma-rays are pulsed, in contrast to the findings at < 20 GeV, which indicate that 100% of the flux is pulsed.
