We observed the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 and the X-ray binaries Cen X-3 and Vela X-1 at TeV energies in 1998 using the CANGAROO 3.8 m telescope. Preliminary results of data analyses on these objects are summarized here. We also estimated a spectrum of the Vela pulsar region using 116 hr data taken by the 3.8 m telescope during 1994 and 1997. The two data sets having different mirror reflectivities give consistent results and the photon index of the best-fit power-law spectrum is -2.4+/-0.2. .
