Abstract (from CDS):

Sub-TeV gamma-ray emission from the northwest rim of the supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 was detected with the CANGAROO II telescope and recently confirmed by the HESS group. In addition, the HESS data revealed a very wide (up to 2° in diameter), shell-like profile of the gamma-ray emission. We carried out CANGAROO III observations in 2005 January and February with three telescopes and show here the results of threefold coincidence data. We confirm the HESS results about the morphology and the energy spectrum and find that the energy spectrum in the NW rim is consistent with that of the whole remnant.
