Limits on an Energy Dependence of the Speed of Light from a Flare of the Active Galaxy PKS 2155-304
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
In the past few decades, several models have predicted an energy-dependence of the speed of light in the context of quantum gravity. For cosmological sources such as active galaxie…

Discovery of VHE gamma-rays from RGB J0152+017
J. -P. Lenain, D. Nedbal, M. Raue +4
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. We report recent obser…
Modelling rapid TeV variability of PKS 2155-304
K. Katarzynski, J-P. Lenain, A. Zech +2
We present theoretical modelling for the very rapid TeV variability of PKS 2155--304 observed recently by the H.E.S.S. experiment. To explain the light-curve, where at least five f…
