H.E.S.S. Observations of the Prompt and Afterglow Phases of GRB 060602B
HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian
We report on the first completely simultaneous observation of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) using an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes which is sensitive to photons in th…
A Cosmic Ray Positron Anisotropy due to Two Middle-Aged, Nearby Pulsars?
I. Buesching, O. C. de Jager, M. S. Potgieter +1
Geminga and B0656+14 are the closest pulsars with characteristic ages in the ran ge of 100 kyr to 1 Myr. They both have spindown powers of the order 3e34 erg/s at present. The wind…
Exploring a SNR/Molecular Cloud Association Within HESS J1745-303
HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian
HESS J1745-303 is an extended, unidentified VHE (very high energy) gamma-ray source discovered using HESS in the Galactic Plane Survey. Since no obvious counterpart has previously…
Estimating the birth period of pulsars through GLAST/LAT observations of their wind nebulae
O. C. de Jager
In this paper we show that the high energy -ray flux in the GeV domain from mature pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) scales as the change in rotational kinetic energy s…
Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object RGB J0152+017
HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian
Aims: The BL Lac object RGB J0152+017 (z=0.080) was predicted to be a very high-energy (VHE; > 100 GeV) gamma-ray source, due to its high X-ray and radio fluxes. Our aim is to unde…
Discovery of an X-ray nebula around PSR J1718-3825 and implications for the nature of the gamma-ray source HESS J1718-385
J. A. Hinton, S. Funk, S. Carrigan +5
Combined X-ray synchrotron and inverse-Compton gamma-ray observations of pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) may help to elucidate the processes of acceleration and energy loss in these syst…
