Scientific paper

A search for potential point sources of Ultra High Energy Gamma rays has been carried out on the data collected by the HEGRA AIROBICC array since 1994. The list of sought sources includes Supernova Remnants, pulsars, AGNs and binary systems. The energy threshold is roughly 20 TeV. Special interest has been put in the study of the Crab Nebula, as the standard candle in this energy range. The sensitivity of this search reaches fluxes of the order of 10-13cm-2s-1 (about 1 Crab).
