New constraints on the Mid-IR EBL from the HESS discovery of VHE gamma rays from 1ES 0229+200

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

AIMS: To investigate the very high energy (VHE: >100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency peaked BL Lac 1ES 0229+200. METHODS: Observations of 1ES 0229+200 at energies a…
