Constraints on the multi-TeV particle population in the Coma galaxy cluster with HESS observations
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. Galaxy clusters are key targets in the search for ultra high energy particle accelerators. The Coma cluster represents one of the best candidates for such a search owing to its high mass, proximity, and the established ...
HESS observations of y-ray bursts in 2003-2007
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. Very-high-energy (VHE; $\ga$100 GeV) $\gamma $-rays are expected from $\gamma $-ray bursts (GRBs) in some scenarios. Exploring this photon energy regime is necessary for understanding the energetics and properties ...
HESS upper limit on the very high energy γ-ray emission from the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), which contains at least 23 ms pulsars, were performed with the HESS telescope system. The observations lead to an upper limit of F(E > 800 GeV) < 6.7 × 10−13 cm−2 ...
