H.E.S.S. discovery of VHE y-rays from the quasar PKS 1510-089
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The quasar PKS 1510-089 (z = 0.361) was observed with the H.E.S.S. array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes during high states in the optical and GeV bands, to search for very high energy (VHE, defined as E ≥ 0.1 ...
PSR J2021+4026 in the gamma cygni region: the first variable γ-ray pulsar seen by the Fermi LAT
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
Long-term monitoring of PSR J2021+4026 in the heart of the Cygnus region with the Fermi Large Area Telescope unveiled a sudden decrease in flux above 100 MeV over a timescale shorter than a week. The "jump" was near MJD ...
Broadband pulsations from PSR B1821-24: implications for emission models and the pulsar population of M28
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
We report the Fermi Large Area Telescope discovery of γ-ray pulsations from the 22.7 ms pulsar A in the double pulsar system J0737−3039A/B. This is the first mildly recycled millisecond pulsar (MSP) detected in the GeV ...
Discovery of TeV y-ray emission from PKS 0447-439 and derivation of an upper limit on its redshift
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Very high-energy γ-ray emission from PKS 0447−439 was detected with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array in December 2009. This blazar is one of the brightest extragalactic objects in the Fermi bright source list and has ...
Discovery of very high energy γ-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object PKS 0301-243 with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The active galactic nucleus PKS 0301−243 (z = 0.266) is a high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac object that is detected at high energies (HE, 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) by Fermi/LAT. This paper reports on the discovery of PKS 0301−243 ...
Measurement of the extragalactic background light imprint on the spectra of the brightest blazars observed with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the diffuse radiation with the second highest energy density in the Universe after the cosmic microwave background. The aim of this study is the measurement of the imprint of the ...
HESS and Fermi-LAT discovery of γ-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312-423
(Oxford Univ Press, 2013)
A deep observation campaign carried out by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) on Centaurus A enabled the discovery of γ-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312−423, 2° away from the radio galaxy. With a differential flux at ...
H.E.S.S. observations of the binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 around the 2010/2011 periastron passage
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Aims. We present very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) data from the γ-ray binary system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 taken around its periastron passage on 15th of December 2010 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) ...
Multi-wavelength modeling of globular clusters: the millisecond pulsar scenario
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
The potentially large number of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in globular cluster (GC) cores makes these parent objects ideal laboratories for studying the collective properties of an ensemble of MSPs. Such a population is ...
The second Fermi Large Area Telescope catalog of gamma-ray pulsars
(IOP Publishing, 2013)
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence ≥0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half are neutron stars discovered using LAT data ...
