| Abstract: | HAGAR, an array of seven atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located at Hanle in Himalayas, has been observing VHE gamma ray sources since September 2008. Taking advantage of the high altitude location, HAGAR could achieve an energy threshold of about 200 GeV. Several astronomical sources, mostly pulsars and blazar class active galactic nuclei, have been observed in the last nine years. Pulsations from Crab pulsar and emission from blazars Mkn 421 and Mkn 501 has been detected successfully. Details of HAGAR telescope array will be given and some important results will be discussed. Also the future plans will be described briefly. |
