| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using nuclear emulsion film with excellent spatial resolution, we have realized a gamma-ray telescope with a large area and a wide viewing angle (from the zenith to 45 degrees zenith angle), and performed observation of cosmic gamma rays at the top layer of the atmosphere.
In 2018, observations in Australia using a telescope with an aperture area of 0.38 m＾2 successfully imaged the known bright gamma-ray object Vela pulsar, and confirmed the improvement of angular resolution from the Fermi-LAT detector currently operated by NASA using real celestial data, which is one order of magnitude in the projection angle (two orders of magnitude for the solid angle). Furthermore, we have developed and realized a large-area telescope equipped with multiple 1.25 m＾2 telescope units, and have begun scientific observations in 2023.
