Discovery of variable VHE γ-ray emission from the binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856
(EDP Sciences, 2015)Re-observations with the HESS telescope array of the very high-energy (VHE) source HESS J1018–589 A that is coincident with the Fermi-LAT γ-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 have resulted in a source detection significance of ... -
H.E.S.S. reveals a lack of TeV emission from the supernova remnant Puppis A
(EDP Sciences, 2015)Context: Puppis A is an interesting ~4 kyr-old supernova remnant (SNR) that shows strong evidence of interaction between the forward shock and a molecular cloud. It has been studied in detail from radio frequencies to ... -
Hadronic models of blazars require a change of the accretion paradigm
(Oxford University Press, 2015)We study hadronic models of broad-band emission of jets in radio-loud active galactic nuclei, and their implications for the accretion in those sources. We show that the models that account for broad-band spectra of blazars ... -
HESS observations of the Carina nebula and its enigmatic colliding wind binary Eta Carinae
(Oxford Univ Press, 2012)The massive binary system Eta Carinae and the surrounding HII complex, the Carina nebula, are potential particle acceleration sites from which very high energy (VHE; E ≥ 100 GeV) γ -ray emission could be expected. This ... -
Probing the gamma-ray emission from HESS J1834-087 using H.E.S.S. and Fermi LAT observations
(EDP Sciences, 2015)Aims: Previous observations with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) have revealed an extended very-high-energy (VHE; E> 100 GeV) γ-ray source, HESS J1834−087, coincident with the supernova remnant (SNR) W41. ...
