Scientific paper

Recent All-sky Surveys of the TeV Energy Gamma Ray Sky by the Tibet AS array have revealed both known sources of TeV gamma emission as well as provided hints of potential TeV Gamma emission from several new unidentified sources. Using the Whipple 10 telescope, we have performed observations on selected Tibet Unidentified source regions for emission of TeV gamma radiation during the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 observing seasons. We describe the development of analysis techniques used to search for point source emission over the larger field of view of the Whipple telescope, and examine the sensitivity of this techique using off-axis observations of a known TeV Gamma Ray source (Crab Nebula). We then analyze the data from obsevations of 5 different Tibet Unidentified source regions. In the talk I will present the summary of this work and discuss the significance of the results.
