    • A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes 

      Ashton, T.; Backes, M.; Balzer, A.; Berge, D.; Bolmont, J. (Elsevier, 2020)
      The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-meter telescopes and a 28-meter one, and is ...

    • On the detection potential of blazar flares for current neutrino telescopes 

      Kreter, M.; Böttcher, M.; Kadler, M.; Krauss, F.; Mannheim, K. (IOP Publishers, 2020)
      Blazar jets are extreme environments, in which relativistic proton interactions with an ultraviolet photon field could give rise to photopion production. High-confidence associations of individual high-energy neutrinos ...

    • Probing the magnetic field in the GW170817 outflow using HESS observations 

      Abdalla, H.; Arcaro, C.; Backes, M.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Chand, T.; Chandra, S.; Kreter, M.; Ndiyavala, H.; Schutte, H.M.; Seyffert, A.S.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Zacharias, M.; Żywucka, N.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (IOP Publishing, 2020)
      The detection of the first electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star (BNS) merger remnant GW170817 established the connection between short γ-ray bursts and BNS mergers. It also confirmed the forging of heavy ...
