Discovery of the source HESS J1356-645 associated with the young and energetic PSR J1357-6429
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Context. Several newly discovered very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray sources in the Galaxy are thought to be associated with energetic pulsars. Among them, middle-aged (≳104 yr) systems exhibit large centre-filled ...
Discovery and follow-up studies of the extended, off-plane, VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1507-622
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Context. The detection of gamma-rays in the very-high-energy (VHE) range (100 GeV−100 TeV) offers the possibility of studying the parent population of ultrarelativistic particles found in astrophysical sources, so it is ...
Detection of very-high-energy y-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR B1706-44 and G 343.1-2.3 with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
The γ-ray pulsar PSRB1706−44 and the adjacent supernova remnant (SNR) candidate G343.1−2.3 were observed by H.E.S.S. during a dedicated observation campaign in 2007. As a result of this observation campaign, a new source ...
Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep H.E.S.S. observations (Corrigendum to article: Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep HESS observations, 464(1):235-243.)

Modeling phase-aligned gamma-ray and radio millisecond pulsar light curves
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
Since the discovery of the first eight gamma-ray millisecond pulsars (MSPs) by the Fermi Large Area Telescope, this population has been steadily expanding. Four of the more recent detections, PSR J0034–0534, PSR J1939+2134 ...
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 ...
Revisiting the Westerlund 2 field with the HESS telescope array
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Aims. Previous observations with the HESS telescope array revealed the existence of extended very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray emission, HESS J1023–575, coincident with the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2. At ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the globular clusters NGC 6388 and M15 and search for a dark matter signal
(IOP Publishing, 2011)
Observations of the globular clusters (GCs) NGC 6388 and M15 were carried out by the High Energy Stereoscopic System array of Cherenkov telescopes for a live time of 27.2 and 15.2 hr, respectively. No gamma-ray signal is ...
A new SNR with TeV shell-type morphology: HESS J1731-347
(EDP Sciences, 2011)
Aims. The recent discovery of the radio shell-type supernova remnant (SNR), G353.6-0.7, in spatial coincidence with the unidentified TeV source HESS J1731−347 has motivated further observations of the source with the High ...
Constraints on particle acceleration in SS433/W50 from MAGIC and H.E.S.S. observations
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Context. The large jet kinetic power and non-thermal processes occurring in the microquasar SS 433 make this source a good candidate for a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitter. Gamma-ray fluxes above the sensitivity ...
