The 2010 very high energy γ-ray flare and 10 years of multi-wavelength observations of M 87
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
The giant radio galaxy M 87 with its proximity (16 Mpc), famous jet, and very massive black hole ((3 – 6) × 109 M☉) provides a unique opportunity to investigate the origin of very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray ...
Probing the extent of the non-thermal emission from the Vela X region at TeV energies with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Context. Vela X is a region of extended radio emission in the western part of the Vela constellation: one of the nearest pulsar wind nebulae, and associated with the energetic Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45). Extended ...
HESS J1640-465: an exceptionally luminous TeV γ-ray supernova remnant
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The results of follow-up observations of the TeV γ-ray source HESS J1640−465 from 2004 to 2011 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) are reported in this work. The spectrum is well described by an exponential ...
TeV γ-ray observations of the young synchrotron-dominated SNRs G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 with H.E.S.S.
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The nonthermal
nature of the Xray
emission from the shelltype
supernova remnants (SNRs)
G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 is an indication of intense particle acceleration in the shock fronts
of both objects. This suggests that ...
Long-term monitoring of PKS2155-304 with ATOM and H.E.S.S.: investigation of optical/y-ray correlations in different spectral states
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In this paper we report on the analysis of all the available optical and very high-energy
y-ray (>200 GeV) data for the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304,
collected simultaneously with the ATOM and H.E.S.S. telescopes from ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the Crab during its March 2013 GeV gamma-ray flare
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
Context. On March 4, 2013 the Fermi-LAT and AGILE reported a flare from the direction of the Crab nebula in which the high-energy (HE; E > 100 MeV) flux was six times above its quiescent level. Simultaneous observations ...
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 ...
