    • Acceleration of petaelectronvolt protons in the Galactic Centre 

      Abramowski, A.; Böttcher, M.; Casanova, S.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Venter, C.; Davids, I.D.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
      Galactic cosmic rays reach energies of at least a few petaelectronvolts1 (of the order of 1015 electronvolts). This implies that our Galaxy contains petaelectronvolt accelerators (‘PeVatrons’), but all proposed models of ...

    • Characterizing the γ-ray long-term variability of PKS 2155-304 with H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      Studying the temporal variability of BL Lac objects at the highest energies provides unique insights into the extreme physical processes occurring in relativistic jets and in the vicinity of super-massive black holes. To ...

    • Constraints on an annihilation signal from a core of constant dark matter density around the Milky Way center with H.E.S.S. 

      Abramowski, A.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Venter, C.; Vorster, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (American Physical Society, 2015)
      An annihilation signal of dark matter is searched for from the central region of the Milky Way. Data acquired in dedicated on-off observations of the Galactic center region with H.E.S.S. are analyzed for this purpose. No ...

    • Discovery of the hard spectrum VHE γ-ray source HESS J1641-463 

      Abramowski, A.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Venter, C.; Vorster, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (IOP Publishing, 2014)
      This Letter reports the discovery of a remarkably hard spectrum source, HESS J1641–463, by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in the very high energy (VHE) domain. HESS J1641–463 remained unnoticed by the usual ...

    • First limits on the very-high energy gamma-ray afterglow emission of a fast radio burst. 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Richter, S.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Venter, C.; Van Rensburg, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      Aims. Following the detection of the fast radio burst FRB150418 by the SUPERB project at the Parkes radio telescope, we aim to search for very-high energy gamma-ray afterglow emission. Methods. Follow-up observations in ...

    • Gamma-ray blazar spectra with H.E.S.S. II mono analysis: the case of PKS 2155-304 and PG 1553+113 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      Context. The addition of a 28 m Cherenkov telescope (CT5) to the H.E.S.S. array extended the experiment’s sensitivityto lower energies. The lowest energy threshold is obtained using monoscopic analysis of data taken with ...

    • Long-term monitoring of PKS2155-304 with ATOM and H.E.S.S.: investigation of optical/y-ray correlations in different spectral states 

      Abramowski, A.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Venter, C.; Vorster, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2014)
      In this paper we report on the analysis of all the available optical and very high-energy y-ray (>200 GeV) data for the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304, collected simultaneously with the ATOM and H.E.S.S. telescopes from ...

    • Measurement of the EBL spectral energy distribution using the VHE γ-ray spectra of H.E.S.S. blazars 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Richter, S.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Zacharias, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2017)
      Very high-energy γ rays (VHE, E ≳ 100 GeV) propagating over cosmological distances can interact with the low-energy photons of the extragalactic background light (EBL) and produce electron-positron pairs. The transparency ...

    • TeV gamma-ray observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with H.E.S.S. 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Ndiyavala, H.; Pekeur, N.W.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Zacharias, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (IOP Publishing, 2017)
      We search for high-energy gamma-ray emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with the H.E.S.S. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. The observations presented here have been obtained starting only 5.3 hr ...
