## TL;DR

This paper explores the use of the TACTIC telescope for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, focusing on detecting very high energy gamma rays through atmospheric Cherenkov techniques and analyzing data from the Crab Nebula and MRK421.

## Contribution

It demonstrates the application of the TACTIC telescope for VHE gamma-ray detection and provides data analysis methods for observed gamma-ray sources.

## Key findings

- Successful detection of gamma rays from Crab Nebula and MRK421
- Analysis of extensive air showers and Cherenkov radiation imaging
- Validation of TACTIC's capability for VHE gamma-ray astronomy

## Abstract

This project is a study of VHE gamma ray astronomy using atmospheric Cherenkov technique. The project involved the study of processes of interaction of gamma rays, formation of extensive air showers, imaging of the Cherenkov radiation and data analysis of the observed data of Crab Nebula and MRK421 using TACTIC at Mt. Abu, India.
