Scientific paper

A search for ultrahigh-energy gamma-rays emitted by the supernova 1987A was conducted with a new cosmic-ray facility installed at the Black Birch Range in New Zealand. The observaions from October 13 to December 3 suggest no clear clustering of events around the direction of the supernova. It is concluded that the upper limit on the flux of gamma-rays of energies is greater than 100 TeV is 1.1 x 10 to the-12th/sq cm s for a differential spectral index, alpha = 2.0 and source distance d = 50 kpc.
