Chandra and HESS observations of the supernova remnant CTB 37B
(EDP Sciences, 2008)We discovered the >100 GeV γ-ray source, HESS J1713−381, apparently associated with the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) CTB37B, using HESS in 2006. In 2007 we performed X-ray follow-up observations with Chandra with ... -
Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object RGB J0152+017
(EDP Sciences, 2008)Aims. The BL Lac object RGB J0152+017 (z=0.080) was predicted to be a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) $\gamma$-ray source, due to its high X-ray and radio fluxes. Our aim is to understand the radiative processes by ... -
Fermi/LAT obeservations of LS 5039
(IOP Publishing, 2009)The first results from observations of the high-mass X-ray binary LS 5039 using the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope data between 2008 August and 2009 June are presented. Our results indicate variability that is consistent ... -
HESS observations of the prompt and afterglow phases of GRB 060602B
(IOP Publishing, 2009)We report on the first completely simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) using an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, which is sensitive to photons in the very high energy (VHE) γ-ray range (gsim ... -
HESS upper limits on very high energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar GRS 1915+105
(EDP Sciences, 2009)Context. High energy particles reside in the relativistic jets of microquasars, making them possible sources of very high energy radiation (VHE, >100 GeV). Detecting this emission would provide a new handle on jet ... -
Monitoring of the radio galaxy M 87 at Very High Energy with MAGIC during a low emission state between 2012 and 2015
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2017)We present the preliminary results from observing the nearby radio galaxy M 87 for 156 hours (between the years 2012 and 2015) with the MAGIC telescopes, which lead to a significant very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) ... -
Multiwavelength analysis of four millisecond pulsars
(AIPC, 2011)Radio timing observations of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in support of Fermi LAT observations of the gamma-ray sky enhance the sensitivity of high-energy pulsation searches. With contemporaneous ephemerides we have detected ... -
Observations and modeling of gamma-ray millisecond pulsars seen with the Fermi LAT
(AIPC, 2011)We present a summary of gamma-ray millisecond pulsar (MSP) observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The radio and gamma-ray light curves of these MSPs have been modeled in the framework of the retarded vacuum ... -
Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep H.E.S.S. observations (Corrigendum to article: Primary particle acceleration above 100 TeV in the shell-type supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 with deep HESS observations, 464(1):235-243.)

A search for a dark matter annihilation signal toward the Canis Major overdensity with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2009)A search for a dark matter (DM) annihilation signal into γ -rays toward the direction of the Canis Major (CMa) overdensity is presented. The nature of CMa is still controversial and one scenario represents it as a dwarf ...
