Discovery of TeV y-ray emission from PKS 0447-439 and derivation of an upper limit on its redshift
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Very high-energy γ-ray emission from PKS 0447−439 was detected with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array in December 2009. This blazar is one of the brightest extragalactic objects in the Fermi bright source list and has ...
Discovery of very high energy γ-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object PKS 0301-243 with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The active galactic nucleus PKS 0301−243 (z = 0.266) is a high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac object that is detected at high energies (HE, 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) by Fermi/LAT. This paper reports on the discovery of PKS 0301−243 ...
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 ...
Multi-wavelength observations of H 2356-309
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Aims. The properties of the broad-band emission from the high-frequency peaked BL Lac H 2356–309 (z = 0.165) are investigated.
Methods. Very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) observations of H 2356–309 were performed with ...
A multiwavelength view of the flaring state of PKS 2155-304 in 2006
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Context: Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E ≳ 100 GeV) occurred, provide a detailed ...
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 ...
The 2012 flare of PG 1553+113 seen with H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ-ray flaring activity of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object PG 1553+113 has been detected by the H.E.S.S. telescopes. The flux of the source increased by a factor of 3 during the ...
