    • Characterising the VHE diffuse emission in the central 200 parsecs of our Galaxy with H.E.S.S. 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Richter, S.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Zacharias, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      The diffuse very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) γ-ray emission observed in the central 200 pc of the Milky Way by H.E.S.S. was found to follow dense matter distribution in the central molecular zone (CMZ) up to a longitudinal ...
    • Constraints on particle acceleration in SS433/W50 from MAGIC and H.E.S.S. observations 

      Ahnen, M.L.; Munar-Adrover, P.; Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Richter, S.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Context. The large jet kinetic power and non-thermal processes occurring in the microquasar SS 433 make this source a good candidate for a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitter. Gamma-ray fluxes above the sensitivity ...
    • Deeper H.E.S.S. observations of Vela Junior (RX J0852.0-4622): morphology studies and resolved spectroscopy 

      Abdalla, H.; Barnard, M.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Garrigoux, T.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Richter, S.; Seyffert, A.S.; Sushch, I.; Spanier, F.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Van Rensburg, C.; Venter, C.; Wadiasingh, Z.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Aims. We study γ-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0−4622 to better characterize its spectral properties and its distribution over the SNR. Methods. The analysis of an extended High Energy ...
    • Detailed spectral and morphological analysis of the shell type supernova remnant RCW 86 

      Abramowski, A.; Böttcher, M.; Davids, I.D.; Ivascenko, A.; Krüger, P.P.; Pekeur, N.W.; Seyffert, A.S.; Spanier, F.; Sushch, I.; Van der Walt, D.J.; Venter, C.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2018)
      Aims. We aim for an understanding of the morphological and spectral properties of the supernova remnant RCW 86 and for insights into the production mechanism leading to the RCW 86 very high-energy γ-ray emission. Methods. ...
    • Discovery and follow-up studies of the extended, off-plane, VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1507-622 

      Acero, F.; Busching, I.; Davids, I.D.; De Jager, O.C.; Holleran, M.; Raubenheimer, B.C.; Venter, C.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2011)
      Context. The detection of gamma-rays in the very-high-energy (VHE) range (100 GeV−100 TeV) offers the possibility of studying the parent population of ultrarelativistic particles found in astrophysical sources, so it is ...
    • Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the extragalactic pulsar wind nebula N 157B with H.E.S.S 

      Abramowski, A.; Casanova, S.; De Jager, O.C.; Pekeur, N.W.; Sheidaei, F.; Venter, C.; Vorster, M.; H.E.S.S. Collaboration (EDP Sciences, 2012)
      We present the significant detection of the first extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) detected in gamma rays, N 157B, located in the large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Pulsars with high spin-down luminosity are found to power ...
    • Discovery of pulsed γ-rays from PSR J0034-0534 with the Fermi Large Area Telescope: a case for co-located radio and γ-ray emission regions 

      Abdo, A.A.; Venter, C.; Ackermann, M.; Ajello, M.; Allafort, A.; Fermi LAT (IOP Publishing, 2010)
      Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been firmly established as a class of γ-ray emitters via the detection of pulsations above 0.1 GeV from eight MSPs by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). Using 13 months of LAT data, ...
    • Discovery of the hard spectrum VHE γ-ray source HESS J1641-463
