Observation of gamma-rays from LMC X-4 above 10(16) eV

Data from the University of Adelaide air shower array at Buckland Park taken over a three year period have been analyzed to search for evidence of ultra high energy gamma-ray emission from neutron star binary X-ray sources having known orbital periods. The detection of UHE gamma-rays from LMC X-4 above 10 to the 16th power eV, is reported; the first extragalactic object to be positively detected at these energies.
