Abstract
The HEGRA IACT stereoscopic system, with an energy threshold of about 0.5 TeV, was used to search for γ-ray emission of several low redshift AGN (z<0.2), mostly BL Lacs. Here we present the results of observations that were made since June 1997 at zenith angles up to 40°. No evidence for TeV emission is detected and the corresponding upper limits in Crab units are given. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
