Search for Lorentz invariance breaking with a likelihood fit of the PKS 2155-304 flare data taken on MJD 53944
(Elsevier, 2011)
Several models of Quantum Gravity predict Lorentz Symmetry breaking at energy scales approaching the Planck scale (∼1019 GeV). With present photon data from the observations of distant astrophysical sources, it is possible ...
H.E.S.S. constraints on dark matter annihilations towards the Sculptor and Carina dwarf galaxies
(Elsevier, 2011)
The Sculptor and Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxies were observed with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array between January 2008 and December 2009. The data sets consist of a total of 11.8 h and 14.8 h of high quality data, ...
Discovery of the source HESS J1356-645 associated with the young and energetic PSR J1357-6429
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Context. Several newly discovered very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray sources in the Galaxy are thought to be associated with energetic pulsars. Among them, middle-aged (≳104 yr) systems exhibit large centre-filled ...
Detection of very-high-energy y-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR B1706-44 and G 343.1-2.3 with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
The γ-ray pulsar PSRB1706−44 and the adjacent supernova remnant (SNR) candidate G343.1−2.3 were observed by H.E.S.S. during a dedicated observation campaign in 2007. As a result of this observation campaign, a new source ...
Simultaneous multi-wavelength campaign on PKS 2005-489 in a high state
(EDP Science, 2011)
TeV γ-ray (H.E.S.S.), GeV γ-ray (Fermi/LAT), X-ray (RXTE, Swift), UV (Swift) and optical (ATOM, Swift) bands. This campaign was carried out during a high flux state in the synchrotron regime. The flux in the optical and ...
Revisiting the Westerlund 2 field with the HESS telescope array
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Aims. Previous observations with the HESS telescope array revealed the existence of extended very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray emission, HESS J1023–575, coincident with the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2. At ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the globular clusters NGC 6388 and M15 and search for a dark matter signal
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
Observations of the globular clusters (GCs) NGC 6388 and M15 were carried out by the High Energy Stereoscopic System array of Cherenkov telescopes for a live time of 27.2 and 15.2 hr, respectively. No gamma-ray signal is ...
A new SNR with TeV shell-type morphology: HESS J1731-347
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Aims. The recent discovery of the radio shell-type supernova remnant (SNR), G353.6-0.7, in spatial coincidence with the unidentified TeV source HESS J1731−347 has motivated further observations of the source with the High ...
Search for a dark matter annihilation signal from the galactic center halo with H.E.S.S.
(APS, 2011)
A search for a very-high-energy (VHE; ≥100 GeV) γ-ray signal from self-annihilating particle dark matter (DM) is performed towards a region of projected distance r∼45–150 pc from the Galactic center. The background-subtracted ...
Very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the direction of the Galactic globular cluster Terzan 5
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
The HESS very-high-energy (VHE, E > 0.1 TeV) gamma-ray telescope system has discovered a new source, HESS J1747-248. The measured integral flux is (1.2 ± 0.3) × 10-12 cm-2 s-1 above 440 GeV for a power-law photon spectral ...
