A simple and straightforward method is applied to the published data obtained with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique. Regardless of many issues of the detection process, the method works only with numbers of very high energetic photons registered in the specified regions. Within the realm of this scheme, we recognized changes attributable to the variations of the intrinsic source activity at high levels of significance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-12-15T16:46:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "ray emission", "binary psr", "variability", "high energetic photons", "imaging atmospheric cherenkov technique" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015EPJWC.10504006S", "inspire": 1409650 } } }
