Constraints on an annihilation signal from a core of constant dark matter density around the Milky Way center with H.E.S.S.
(American Physical Society, 2015)
An annihilation signal of dark matter is searched for from the central region of the Milky Way. Data acquired in dedicated on-off observations of the Galactic center region with H.E.S.S. are analyzed for this purpose. No ...
X-ray and gamma-ray polarization in leptonic and hadronic jet models of blazars
(IOP Science, 2013)
We present a theoretical analysis of the expected X-ray and γ-ray polarization signatures resulting from synchrotron self-Compton emission in leptonic models compared to the polarization signatures from proton synchrotron ...
Studies of active galactic nuclei with CTA
(Elsevier, 2013)
In this paper, we review the prospects for studies of active galactic nuclei (AGN) using the envisioned
future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). This review focuses on jetted AGN, which constitute the vast
majority of AGN ...
First NuSTAR observations of Mrk 501 within a radio to TeV multi-instrument campaign
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 2013 April
1 and August 10, including the first detailed characterization of the synchrotron peak with Swift and NuSTAR.
During ...
Nature of intranight optical variability of BL Lacertae
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
We present the results of extensive multiband intranight optical monitoring of BL Lacertae during 2010–2012. BL Lacertae was very active in this period and showed intense variability in almost all wavelengths. We extensively ...
Multi-wavelength study of flaring activity in BL Lac object S5 0716+714 during the 2015 outburst
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
We present a detailed investigation of the flaring activity observed from a BL Lac object, S5 0716+714 , during its
brightest ever optical state in the second half of 2015 January. Observed almost simultaneously in the ...
Time dependent hadronic modeling of flat spectrum radio quasars
(American Astronomical Society, 2015)
We introduce a new time-dependent lepto-hadronic model for blazar emission that takes into account the radiation
emitted by secondary particles, such as pions and muons, from photo hadronic interactions. Starting from ...
H.E.S.S. reveals a lack of TeV emission from the supernova remnant Puppis A
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Context: Puppis A is an interesting ~4 kyr-old supernova remnant (SNR) that shows strong evidence of interaction between the forward shock and a molecular cloud. It has been studied in detail from radio frequencies to ...
Discovery of variable VHE γ-ray emission from the binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Re-observations with the HESS telescope array of the very high-energy (VHE) source HESS J1018–589 A that is coincident with the Fermi-LAT γ-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 have resulted in a source detection significance of ...
Discovery of a new TeV gamma-ray source: Ver J0521+211
(IOP Science, 2013)
We report the detection of a new TeV gamma-ray source, VER J0521+211, based on observations made with the VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Array. These observations were motivated by the discovery of a cluster ...
