TeV gamma-ray observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +250

We search for high-energy gamma-ray emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with the H.E.S.S. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. The observations presented here have b…

HESS J1741-302: a hidden accelerator in the Galactic plane

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +252

The H.E.S.S. collaboration has discovered a new very high energy (VHE, E 0.1 TeV) -ray source, HESS J1741-302, located in the Galactic plane. Despite several attempts to con…

A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source

S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118

Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…

Measurement of the EBL spectral energy distribution using the VHE gamma-ray spectra of H.E.S.S. blazars

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +256

Very high-energy gamma-rays (VHE, E>100 GeV) propagating over cosmological distances can interact with the low-energy photons of the extragalactic background light (EBL) and produc…

Constraints on particle acceleration in SS433/W50 from MAGIC and H.E.S.S. observations

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +408

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-ra…
