Funded Activity Summary
Astrophysics with the CANGAROO III Gamma-ray Telescope. This project will explore the last remaining part of the electromagnetic spectrum previously inaccessible in astronomy. It covers two decades of photon energy, above those accessible to satellite telescopes, and below those accessible to previous generations of ground-based VHE gamma-ray telescopes. Observations in those other energy ranges give us confidence that there is much to be discovered. We will provide an Australian contribution to the CANGAROO III telescope project, supporting the multi-million dollar contribution of our Japanese partners. Based at Woomera, this work maintains Australian access to a key astrophysical field at very modest cost.Funded Activity Details
