A search for a dark matter annihilation signal toward the Canis Major overdensity with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
A search for a dark matter (DM) annihilation signal into γ -rays toward the direction of the Canis Major (CMa)
overdensity is presented. The nature of CMa is still controversial and one scenario represents it as a dwarf ...
Simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the second exceptional y-ray flare of PKS 2155-304 in July 2006
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. The X-ray-TeV connection and the evolution of the emitting particle population is studied in high-energy peaked BL Lac objects, by obtaining spectral information in both bands on sub-hour timescales.
Methods. ...
Very high energy gamma-ray observations of the galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 with HESS
(2009)
Aims. The nearby galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 are studied in the very high-energy (VHE, GeV) band to investigate VHE cosmic rays (CRs) in this class of objects which are the largest gravitationally bound systems ...
Simultaneous observations of PKS 2155-304 with HESS, FERMI, RXTE, and ATOM: spectral energy distributions and variability in a low state
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We report on the first simultaneous observations that cover the optical, X-ray, and high-energy gamma-ray bands of the BL Lac object PKS 2155–304. The gamma-ray bands were observed for 11 days, between 2008 August 25 and ...
HESS observations of the prompt and afterglow phases of GRB 060602B
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We report on the first completely simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) using an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, which is sensitive to photons in the very high energy (VHE) γ-ray range (gsim ...
HESS upper limits on very high energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar GRS 1915+105
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Context. High energy particles reside in the relativistic jets of microquasars, making them possible sources of very high energy radiation (VHE, >100 GeV). Detecting this emission would provide a new handle on jet ...
Very high energy γ-ray observations of the binary PSR B1259-63/SS2883 around the 2007 Periastron
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. This article presents very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) data from the γ-ray binary PSR B1259-63 as taken during the years 2005, 2006 and before as well as shortly after the 2007 periastron passage. These data extend ...
Spectrum and variability of the Galactic center VHE y-ray source HESS J1745-290
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. A detailed study of the spectrum and variability of the source HESS J1745-290 in the Galactic Center (GC) region using new data from the H.E.S.S. array of Cherenkov telescopes is presented. Flaring activity and quasi ...
