AbstractThe Buckland Park air shower array is being developed particularly for use as an ultra-high-energy gamma ray astronomy telescope. The properties of this instrument are described with an emphasis on improvements being made to its angular resolution. Some early data are presented to illustrate the way in which the data obtained will be used.

AbstractThe Buckland Park air shower array has been used for some time as an ultra-high-energy gamma-ray telescope operating at photon energies of about 1015 eV. Other such telescopes have reported apparent bursts of events from astrophysical objects under study. We report here searches for UHE bursts from 14 southern hemisphere objects studied in our UHE programme. No conclusive evidence has been found for any UHE burst activity from these sources in the period 1986-1988. There is possible evidence for activity associated with 1700-377 and SN1987A.

AbstractWe report here a search of data recorded by the Buckland Park air shower array from the first year after the supernova and set an upper limit to the proton luminosity of SN1987A of 7.7 × 1040 ergs s−1.
