Analysis of the accuracy of GNSS inferred precipitable water vapour against that from a 210 GHz WVR at the H.E.S.S. site

Lott Frans, Michael Backes, Heino Falcke +1

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) site and the Gamsberg Mountain have been identified as potential sites for the Africa Millimetre Telescope (AMT). The AMT is poised t…

A comparative analysis of GNSS-inferred precipitable water vapour at the potential sites for the Africa Millimetre Telescope

Lott Frans, Michael Backes, Heino Falcke +1

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a network of antennas across the globe currently used to image super-massive black holes (SMBHs) at a frequency of 230 GHz. Since the release o…

Joint H.E.S.S. and Fermi-LAT analysis of the region around PSR J1813-1749

T. Wach, A. M. W. Mitchell, V. Joshi +1

HESS J1813-178 is one of the brightest sources detected during the first HESS Galactic Plane survey. The compact source, also detected by MAGIC, is believed to be a pulsar wind neb…

Modelling of highly extended Gamma-ray emission around the Geminga Pulsar as detected with H.E.S.S

A. M. W. Mitchell, S. Caroff

Geminga is an enigmatic radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar located at a mere 250 pc distance from Earth. Extended very-high-energy gamma-ray emission around the pulsar has been detected…

Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS

Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro +13

Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…

The young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1 in rays as seen with H.E.S.S

Lars Mohrmann, Andreas Specovius, Romed Rauth +2

Massive stellar clusters have recently been hypothesised as candidates for the acceleration of hadronic cosmic rays up to PeV energies. Previously, the H.E.S.S. Collaboration has r…

Science verification of the new FlashCam-based camera in the 28m telescope of H.E.S.S

Gerd Pühlhofer, Konrad Bernlöhr, Baiyang Bi +13

In October 2019 the central 28m telescope of the H.E.S.S. experiment has been upgraded with a new camera. The camera is based on the FlashCam design which has been developed in vie…

Detection of extended TeV emission around the Geminga pulsar with H.E.S.S

A. M. W. Mitchell, S. Caroff, J. Hinton +1

Highly extended gamma-ray emission around the Geminga pulsar was discovered by Milagro and verified by HAWC. Despite many observations with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes…

Detection of new Extreme BL Lac objects with H.E.S.S. and Swift XRT

Mathieu de Bony de Lavergne, Tomas Bylund, Manuel Meyer +2

Extreme high synchrotron peaked blazars (EHBLs) are amongst the most powerful accelerators found in nature. Usually the synchrotron peak frequency of an EHBL is above Hz…

Evidence of 100 TeV -ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate

H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +232

The identification of PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic ray spectrum (few eV), is crucial to understand the origin of cosmic rays…

Combined Dark Matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS

Louise Oakes, Celine Armand, Eric Charles +13

The search for Dark Matter (DM) has great potential to reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. As such, searches for evidence of DM particles are being carried out using a wide r…
