Discovery of VHE <i>γ</i>-rays from the distant BL Lacertae 1ES 0347-121

<i>Aims.<i/>Our aim is to study the production mechanism for very-high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) <i>γ<i/>-rays in distant active galactic nuclei (AGN) and use the observed VHE spectrum to derive limits on the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL). We also want to determine physical quantities through the modeling of the object's broad-band spectral …
