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…

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…

Temporal and spectral gamma-ray properties of Mkn421 above 250 GeV from CAT observations between 1996 and 2000

F. Piron, A. Djannati-Atai, M. Punch +22

The gamma-ray emission above 250 GeV from the BL Lac object Markarian 421 was observed by the CAT Cherenkov imaging telescope between December, 1996, and June, 2000. In 1998, the s…
