Abstract

We discuss an effect of the intergalactic absorption of the TeV gamma-rays in time-averaged spectrum of Mkn 501 measured by the HEGRA Collaboration. Analysis of the spectral behavior, variability time scale and relevant calculations of TeV gamma-ray emission allow to conclude the presence of a noticeable absorption of the TeV gamma-rays in the Mkn 501 energy spectrum.
