Abstract content
We present the analysis and results of recent high-energy gamma-ray observations of the high energy-peaked BL Lac (HBL) object 1ES 1218+304 with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE). 1ES 1218+304 is an X-ray bright HBL at a redshift z=0.182, and has been predicted to emit high energy gamma rays above 100 GeV, detectable by ground-based Cherenkov telescopes. Recently, this source has been detected by MAGIC and VERITAS, confirming these predictions. STACEE's sensitivity to astrophysical sources at energies above 100 GeV allows it to explore high energy sources such as X-ray bright active galaxies and gamma-ray bursts. We will present results from STACEE observations of 1ES 1218+304 in the 2006-2007 observing season.
