Constraints on an annihilation signal from a core of constant dark matter density around the Milky Way center with H.E.S.S.
(American Physical Society, 2015)
An annihilation signal of dark matter is searched for from the central region of the Milky Way. Data acquired in dedicated on-off observations of the Galactic center region with H.E.S.S. are analyzed for this purpose. No ...
H.E.S.S. reveals a lack of TeV emission from the supernova remnant Puppis A
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Context: Puppis A is an interesting ~4 kyr-old supernova remnant (SNR) that shows strong evidence of interaction between the forward shock and a molecular cloud. It has been studied in detail from radio frequencies to ...
Discovery of variable VHE γ-ray emission from the binary system 1FGL J1018.6-5856
(EDP Sciences, 2015)
Re-observations with the HESS telescope array of the very high-energy (VHE) source HESS J1018–589 A that is coincident with the Fermi-LAT γ-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 have resulted in a source detection significance of ...
Constraints on the multi-TeV particle population in the Coma galaxy cluster with HESS observations
(EDP Sciences, 2009)
Aims. Galaxy clusters are key targets in the search for ultra high energy particle accelerators. The Coma cluster represents one of the best candidates for such a search owing to its high mass, proximity, and the established ...
Detection of gamma rays from a starburst galaxy
(AAAS, 2009)
Starburst galaxies exhibit in their central regions a highly increased rate of supernovae, the remnants of which are thought to accelerate energetic cosmic rays up to energies of ~1015 electron volts. We report the detection ...
HESS upper limit on the very high energy gammay-ray emission from the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (Research Note)
(EDP sciences, 2009)
Observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), which contains at least 23 ms pulsars, were performed with the HESS telescope
system. The observations lead to an upper limit of F(E > 800 GeV) < 6.7 × 10−13 cm−2 ...
PKS 2005-489 at VHE: four years of monitoring with HESS and simultaneous multi-wavelength observations
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Aims. Our aim is to study the very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) γ-ray emission from BL Lac objects and the evolution in time of their broad-band spectral energy distribution (SED).
Methods. VHE observations of the ...
First detection of VHE y-rays from SN 1006 by HESS
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
Aims. Recent theoretical predictions of the lowest very high energy (VHE) luminosity of SN 1006 are only a factor 5 below the previously published HESS upper limit, thus motivating further in-depth observations of this ...
Localizing the VHE y-ray source at the galactic centre
(Oxford University Press, 2010)
The inner 10 pc of our Galaxy contains many counterpart candidates of the very high energy
(VHE; >100 GeV) γ -ray point source HESS J1745−290. Within the point spread function
of the H.E.S.S. measurement, at least three ...
Radio imaging of the very-high-energy y-ray emission region in the central engine of a radio galaxy
(Science AAAS, 2009)
The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets
found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particles to energies
exceeding 1012 electron ...
