Detection of extended very-high-energy gamma-ray emission towards the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2
HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian
Results from gamma-ray observations by the H.E.S.S. telescope array in the direction of the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2 are presented. Stereoscopic imaging of Cherenkov ligh…
First ground based measurement of atmospheric Cherenkov light from cosmic rays
HESS Collaboration, F. A. Aharonian
A recently proposed novel technique for the detection of cosmic rays with arrays of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes is applied to data from the High Energy Stereoscopic Sy…
Discovery of Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from the BL Lac Object H2356-309 with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov Telescopes
Aharonian et al.
The extreme synchrotron BL Lac object H2356-309, located at a redshift of z = 0.165, was observed from June to December 2004 with a total exposure of approx. 40 h live-time with th…
Energy dependent gamma-ray morphology in the Pulsar wind nebula HESSJ1825-137
F. Aharonian
Detailed morphological and spatially resolved spectral studies reveal the very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray aspects of this object with unprecedented precision. We confirm previous…
Observations of the Crab Nebula with H.E.S.S
The HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian
The Crab nebula was observed with the H.E.S.S. stereoscopic Cherenkov-telescope array between October 2003 and January 2005 for a total of 22.9 hours (after data quality selection)…
First detection of a VHE gamma-ray spectral maximum from a Cosmic source: H.E.S.S. discovery of the Vela X nebula
Aharonian et al.
The Vela supernova remnant (SNR) is a complex region containing a number of sources of non-thermal radiation. The inner section of this SNR, within 2 degrees of the pulsar PSR B083…
