H.E.S.S. Observations of PKS 2155-304
The H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 at redshift z=0.117 has been detected with high significance (~45 sigma) at energies greater than 160 GeV, using the H.E.S.S. stereosc…
High-energy particle acceleration in the shell of a supernova remnant
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
A significant fraction of the energy density of the interstellar medium is in the form of high-energy charged particles (cosmic rays). The origin of these particles remains uncerta…
Lead abundance in the uranium star CS 31082-001
B. Plez, V. Hill, R. Cayrel +6
In a previous paper we were able to measure the abundance of uranium and thorium in the very-metal poor halo giant BPS CS 31082-001, but only obtained an upper limit for the abunda…
New analysis of the two carbon-rich stars CS 22948-27 and CS 29497-34 : binarity and neutron-capture elements
B. Barbuy, M. Spite, F. Spite +4
We have carried out a new determination of abundances in the very metal-poor CH/CN strong stars CS 29497-34 and CS 22948-27, using high-resolution spectra obtained with the HARPS s…
First stars VI - Abundances of C, N, O, Li, and mixing in extremely metal-poor giants. Galactic evolution of the light elements
M. Spite, R. Cayrel, B. Plez +11
We have investigated the poorly-understood origin of nitrogen in the early Galaxy by determining N abundances in 35 extremely metal-poor halo giants (22 stars have [Fe/H]<-3.0) usi…
Very high energy gamma rays from the direction of Sagittarius A*
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
We report the detection of a point-like source of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays coincident within 1' of Sgr A*, obtained with the H.E.S.S. array of Cherenkov telescopes. The ga…
