Discovery of VHE y-rays from the BL Lacertae object PKS 0548-322
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Aims. PKS 0548-322 (z=0.069) is a "high-frequency-peaked'' BL Lac object and a candidate very high energy (VHE, E >100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray emitter, due to its high X-ray and radio flux. Observations at the VHE band provide ...
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 ...
A multiwavelength view of the flaring state of PKS 2155-304 in 2006
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Context: Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E ≳ 100 GeV) occurred, provide a detailed ...
Search for Lorentz invariance breaking with a likelihood fit of the PKS 2155-304 flare data taken on MJD 53944
(Elsevier, 2011)
Several models of Quantum Gravity predict Lorentz Symmetry breaking at energy scales approaching the Planck scale (∼1019 GeV). With present photon data from the observations of distant astrophysical sources, it is possible ...
H.E.S.S. constraints on dark matter annihilations towards the Sculptor and Carina dwarf galaxies
(Elsevier, 2011)
The Sculptor and Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxies were observed with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array between January 2008 and December 2009. The data sets consist of a total of 11.8 h and 14.8 h of high quality data, ...
Search for dark matter annihilations towards the inner Galactic halo from 10 years of observations with H.E.S.S.
(APS, 2016)
The inner region of the Milky Way halo harbors a large amount of dark matter (DM). Given its proximity, it is one of the most promising targets to look for DM. We report on a search for the annihilations of DM particles ...
Discovery of high and very high-energy emission from the BL Lacertae object SHBL J001355.9-185406
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The detection of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object (HBL) SHBL J001355.9–185406 (z = 0.095) at high (HE; 100 MeV < E < 300 GeV)
and very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and ...
Spectral analysis and interpretation of the Y-ray emission from the starburst galaxy NGC 253
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
Very high energy (VHE; E ≥ 100 GeV) and high-energy (HE; 100 MeV ≤ E ≤ 100 GeV) data from γ-ray observations performed with the H.E.S.S. telescope array and the Fermi-LAT instrument, respectively, are analyzed in order to ...
Probing the extent of the non-thermal emission from the Vela X region at TeV energies with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2012)
Context. Vela X is a region of extended radio emission in the western part of the Vela constellation: one of the nearest pulsar wind nebulae, and associated with the energetic Vela pulsar (PSR B0833-45). Extended ...
Extended VHE γ-ray emission towards SGR1806-20, LBV 1806-20, and stellar cluster Cl 1806-20
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
Using the High Energy Spectroscopic System (H.E.S.S.) telescopes we have discovered a steady and extended very high-energy (VHE) γ-ray source towards the luminous blue variable candidate LBV 1806−20, massive stellar cluster ...
