An atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (ACT) designated GASP (Gamma Astronomy at the South Pole) has been installed near the SPASE (South Pole Air Shower Experiment) scintillator array at the South Pole Observing Facility. During the austral summer 1992, it was aimed at objects such as PKS 0537-441 and PSR 1706-44, simultaneously with the Egret detector on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). Recently observed radio silent quasars that emit gamma rays with enormous intensity may account for the origin of cosmic ray flux at energies that exceed 1016 eV. Other galactic sources like Cygnus X-3 are believed to produce the UHE cosmic gamma flux. In addition to SPASE and GASP, a group of particle detectors (AMANDA, ACA, POOL, MICE) are currently being tested. The above instrumentation will constitute the South Pole Observatory Facility.
The members of the GASP collaboration are as follows: Firenze: G. Barbagli G. Castellini, G. Landi, P.L. Tasselli; Purdue: J. Gaidos, F. Loeffler, G. Sembroski; C. Wilson; Smithsonian: K. Harris, M.A. Lawrence, T.C. Weekes; Wisconsin K. Engel, F. Halzen R. Morse, P. Surrey, S. Tilav
