VHE γ-ray discovery and multiwavelength study of the blazar 1ES 2322-409
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)
A hotspot at a position compatible with the BL Lac object 1ES 2322−409 was serendipitously detected with H.E.S.S. during observations performed in 2004 and 2006 on the blazar PKS 2316−423. Additional data on 1ES 2322−409 ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the flaring gravitationally lensed galaxy PKS 1830-211
(Oxford Univ Press, 2019)
PKS 1830–211 is a known macrolensed quasar located at a redshift of z = 2.5. Its high-energy gamma-ray emission has been detected with the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument and evidence for lensing was obtained ...
H.E.S.S. and Suzaku observations of the Vela X pulsar wind nebula
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Context. Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) represent the most prominent population of Galactic very-high-energy gamma-ray sources and are thought to be an efficient source of leptonic cosmic rays. Vela X is a nearby middle-aged ...
Particle transport within the pulsar wind nebula HESS J1825–137
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Context. We present a detailed view of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) HESS J1825–137. We aim to constrain the mechanisms dominating the particle transport within the nebula, accounting for its anomalously large size and ...
The VHE γ-ray view of the FSRQ PKS 1510-089
(MDPI, 2019)
The flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1510-089 is a monitored target in many wavelength bands due to its high variability. It was detected as a very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray emitter with H.E.S.S. in 2009, and has since been a ...
Constraints on the emission region of 3C 279 during strong flares in 2014 and 2015 through VHE γ-ray observations with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
The flat spectrum radio quasar 3C 279 is known to exhibit pronounced variability in the high-energy (100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) γ-ray band, which is continuously monitored with Fermi-LAT. During two periods of high activity ...
HESS and Suzaku observations of the Vela X pulsar wind nebula
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Context. Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) represent the most prominent population of Galactic very-high-energy gamma-ray sources and are thought to be an efficient source of leptonic cosmic rays. Vela X is a nearby middle-aged ...
Upper limits on very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from core-collapse supernovae observed with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
Young core-collapse supernovae with dense-wind progenitors may be able to accelerate cosmic-ray hadrons beyond the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum, and this may result in measurable gamma-ray emission. We searched for ...
