Description
Summary:The results of recent studies which seek to probe fundamental aspects of astrophysics using TeV gamma-ray observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) are presented. These analyses take advantage of both spectral and temporal information together with the unique combination of the very high energies and large distance scales involved. The next generation of instruments currently planned are expected to make substantial improvements in the study of such phenomena. © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
