A search for new supernova remnant shells in the Galactic plane with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2018)
A search for new supernova remnants (SNRs) has been conducted using TeV γ-ray data from the H.E.S.S. Galactic plane survey. As an identification criterion, shell morphologies that are characteristic for known resolved TeV ...
Discovery of the hard spectrum VHE γ-ray source HESS J1641-463
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
This Letter reports the discovery of a remarkably hard spectrum source, HESS J1641–463, by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in the very high energy (VHE) domain. HESS J1641–463 remained unnoticed by the usual ...
Search for extended γ-ray emission around AGN with H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
Context. Very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray emission from blazars inevitably gives rise to electron-positron pair production through
the interaction of these γ-rays with the extragalactic background light (EBL). ...
HESS J1818-154, a new composite supernova remnant discovered in TeV gamma rays and X-rays
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
Composite supernova remnants (SNRs) constitute a small subclass of the remnants of massive stellar explosions where non-thermal radiation
is observed from both the expanding shell-like shock front and from a pulsar wind ...
Flux upper limits for 47 AGN observed with H.E.S.S. in 2004-2011
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
Context. About 40% of the observation time of the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is dedicated to studying active galactic nuclei
(AGN), with the aim of increasing the sample of known extragalactic very-high-energy ...
Long-term monitoring of PKS2155-304 with ATOM and H.E.S.S.: investigation of optical/y-ray correlations in different spectral states
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
In this paper we report on the analysis of all the available optical and very high-energy
y-ray (>200 GeV) data for the BL Lac object PKS 2155-304,
collected simultaneously with the ATOM and H.E.S.S. telescopes from ...
Search for TeV Gamma-ray emission from GRB 100621A, an extremely bright GRB in X-rays, with H.E.S.S.
(EDP Sciences, 2014)
The long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 100621A, at the time the brightest X-ray transient ever detected by Swift-XRT in the 0:3–10 keV range, has
been observed with the H.E.S.S. imaging air Cherenkov telescope array, sensitive ...
Long-term TeV and X-ray observations of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057
(IOP Publishing, 2014)
HESS J0632+057 is the only gamma-ray binary known so far whose position in the sky allows observations
with ground-based observatories in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Here we report on long-term
observations ...
TeV γ-ray observations of the young synchrotron-dominated SNRs G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 with H.E.S.S.
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The nonthermal
nature of the Xray
emission from the shelltype
supernova remnants (SNRs)
G1.9+0.3 and G330.2+1.0 is an indication of intense particle acceleration in the shock fronts
of both objects. This suggests that ...
HESS J1640-465: an exceptionally luminous TeV γ-ray supernova remnant
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
The results of follow-up observations of the TeV γ-ray source HESS J1640−465 from 2004 to 2011 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) are reported in this work. The spectrum is well described by an exponential ...
