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 ...
The 2012 flare of PG 1553+113 seen with H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ-ray flaring activity of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object PG 1553+113 has been detected by the H.E.S.S. telescopes. The flux of the source increased by a factor of 3 during the ...
Characterizing the γ-ray long-term variability of PKS 2155-304 with H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT
(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 ...
Gamma-ray blazar spectra with H.E.S.S. II mono analysis: the case of PKS 2155-304 and PG 1553+113
(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 ...
