Limits to quantum gravity effects on energy dependence of the speed of light from observations of TeV flares in active galaxies

We have used data from a TeV γ-ray flare associated with the active galaxy Markarian 421 to place bounds on the possible energy dependence of the speed of light in the context of an effective quantum gravitational energy scale. Recent theoretical work suggests that such an energy scale could be less...
