TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported two dramatic outbursts of TeV photons from the active galaxy Markarian 421 (Mrk421) in which the flux increased above the relatively quiescent value by more than a factor of 50, briefly making Mrk421 the brightest TeV source in the sky.

TL;DR: In this paper, a next generation atmospheric Cherenkov observatory is described which uses the Whipple Observatory gamma-ray telescope as a prototype, with an array of seven imaging telescopes deployed such that they will permit the maximum versatility and will give the highest sensitivity in the 50 GeV-50 TeV band (with maximum sensitivity from 100 GeV to 10 TeV).

TL;DR: A cosmic-ray density of 250 eV cm-3 in the starburst core, which is about 500 times the average Galactic density is determined, and suggests that supernovae and massive-star winds are the dominant accelerators.

TL;DR: Radio and VHE observations of the radio galaxy Messier 87 are revealed, revealing a period of extremely strong VHE gamma-ray flares accompanied by a strong increase of theRadio flux from its nucleus, implying that charged particles are accelerated to very high energies in the immediate vicinity of the black hole.
