High-Statistics Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Electron Spectrum with H.E.S.S
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +144
Owing to their rapid cooling rate and hence loss-limited propagation distance, cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CRe) at very high energies probe local cosmic-ray accelerators an…
Multi-wavelength study of OT 081: broadband modelling of a transitional blazar
MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +270
OT 081 is a well-known, luminous blazar that is remarkably variable in many energy bands. We present the first broadband study of the source which includes very-high-energy (VHE, $…
Interpreting the LHAASO Galactic diffuse emission data
Vittoria Vecchiotti, Giada Peron, Elena Amato +4
Recently, the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) collaboration has obtained a measurement of the gamma-ray diffuse emission in the ultra-high energy range, $10-10^…
On the correlation between young massive star clusters and gamma-ray unassociated sources
Giada Peron, Giovanni Morlino, Stefano Gabici +3
Star clusters (SCs) are potential cosmic-ray (CR) accelerators and therefore are expected to emit high-energy radiation. However, a clear detection of gamma-ray emission from this…
Very-high-energy -ray emission from young massive star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +129
The Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is known for its high star formation activity. At its center lies the young massive star cluster R136, providing a significant am…
The contribution of winds of star clusters to the Galactic cosmic-ray population
Giada Peron, Sabrina Casanova, Stefano Gabici +2
Cosmic rays are energetic nuclei that permeate the entire Galactic disk. Their existence requires the presence of powerful particle accelerators. While Galactic supernova explosion…
H.E.S.S. observations of the 2021 periastron passage of PSR B1259-63/LS 2883
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +141
PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system that hosts a pulsar in an eccentric orbit, with a 3.4 year period, around an O9.5Ve star. At orbital phases close to periastron passages,…
Contribution of young massive star clusters to Galactic diffuse -ray emission
Stefano Menchiari, Giovanni Morlino, Elena Amato +3
Context: Young massive stellar clusters (YMSCs) have emerged as potential -ray sources, after the recent association of a dozen YMSCs with extended -ray emission. The large s…
Detection prospects of very and ultra high-energy gamma rays from extended sources with ASTRI, CTA, and LHAASO
Silvia Celli, Giada Peron
Context. The recent discovery of several ultra high-energy gamma-ray emitters in our Galaxy represents a significant advancement towards the characterisation of its most powerful a…
Acceleration and transport of relativistic electrons in the jets of the microquasar SS 433
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +161
SS 433 is a microquasar, a stellar binary system with collimated relativistic jets. We observed SS 433 in gamma rays using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), finding a…
