Results on steady TeV $\gamma$-ray point source search using data taken from the Tibet HD (Feb. 1997 -- Sep. 1999) and Tibet III (Nov. 1999 -- Oct. 2001) arrays are presented. From $0^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$ in declination, significant excesses from the well-known steady source Crab Nebula and the high state of the flare type source Markarian 421 are observed. Because the levels of significance from other positions are not sufficiently high, 90% confidence level upper limits on the flux are set assuming different power law spectra. To allow crosschecking, two independently developed analyses are used in this work.

  1. Enhanced All-Distance Equi-Zenith Angle Method for Cosmic-Ray Anisotropy Measurement

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    An enhanced equi-zenith angle method is developed that measures cosmic-ray anisotropies over multiple time frames while determining detection efficiency directly from the data.
