Observations of the Sagitarrius dwarf galaxy by the HESS experiment and search for a dark matter signal
(Elsevier, 2008)
Observations of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (Sgr dSph) galaxy were carried out with the HESS array of four imaging air Cherenkov telescopes in June 2006. A total of 11 h of high quality data are available after data ...
Exploring a SNR/molecular cloud association within HESS J1745-303
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Aims. HESS J1745−303 is an extended, unidentified VHE (very high energy) gamma-ray source discovered using HESS in the Galactic Plane
Survey. Since no obvious counterpart has previously been found in longer-wavelength ...
HESS upper limits for Kepler's supernova remnant
(EDP sciences, 2008)
Aims. Observations of Kepler's supernova remnant (G4.5+6.8) with the HESS telescope array in 2004 and 2005 with a total live time of 13 h are presented. Methods. Stereoscopic imaging of Cherenkov radiation from extensive ...
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 ...
HESS observations and VLT spectroscopy of PG 1553+113
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
Aims.The properties of the very high energy (VHE; GeV) γ-ray emission from the high-frequency peaked BL Lac PG 1553+113 are investigated. An attempt is made to measure the currently unknown redshift of this object.
Methods.VHE ...
Probing the ATIC peak in the cosmic-ray electron spectrum with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
The measurement of an excess in the cosmic-ray electron spectrum between 300 and 800 GeV by the ATIC experiment has – together with
the PAMELA detection of a rise in the positron fraction up to
≈
100 GeV – ...
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 ...
Chandra and HESS observations of the supernova remnant CTB 37B
(EDP Sciences, 2008)
We discovered the >100 GeV γ-ray source, HESS J1713−381, apparently associated with the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) CTB37B, using
HESS in 2006. In 2007 we performed X-ray follow-up observations with Chandra with ...
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 ...
