The γ-rays exhibit a power-law energy spectrum with a spectral index of -2.2 ± 0.09 × 0.15 and a flux above the 165 GeV threshold of (1.82 ± 0.22) × 10^-7 m^-2 s^-1. The measured flux and spectrum differ substantially from recent results reported in particular by the CANGAROO collaboration.en© The European Southern Observatory 2004Journal article002006330810.1051/0004-6361:2004000550002247344000042-s2.0-474433930051019Rowell, G.
