The development of a hardware random number generator for gamma-ray astronomy
(North-West University, 2005)Pulsars, as rotating magnetised neutron stars got much attention during the last 40 years since their discovery. Observations revealed them to be gamma-ray emitters with energies continuing up to the sub 100 GeV region. ... -
A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes
(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
(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
(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 ...
