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 gamma-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant RCW 86 with H.E.S.S

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

The shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RCW 86, possibly associated with the historical supernova SN 185, with its relatively large size (about 40' in diameter) and the presence of…

A search for a dark matter annihilation signal towards the Canis Major overdensity with H.E.S.S

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

A search for a dark matter (DM) annihilation signal into -rays toward the direction of the Canis Major (CMa) overdensity is presented. The nature of CMa is still controversial a…

H.E.S.S. upper limits for Kepler's supernova remnant

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

Observations of Kepler's supernova remnant (G4.5+6.8) with the H.E.S.S. telescope array in 2004 and 2005 with a total live time of 13 h are presented. Stereoscopic imaging of Chere…

Chandra and H.E.S.S. observations of the Supernova Remnant CTB 37B

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

The >100 GeV gamma-ray source, HESS J1713-381, apparently associated with the shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) CTB 37B, was discovered using H.E.S.S. in 2006. X-ray follow-up obs…

Discovery of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR J1913+1011 with H.E.S.S

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

The H.E.S.S. experiment, an array of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes with high sensitivity and large field-of-view, has been used to search for emitters of very-high-…

Discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission coincident with molecular clouds in the W28 (G6.4-0.1) field

HESS Collaboration, F Aharonian

We observed the W28 field (for ~40 h) at Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray energies (E>0.1 TeV) with the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes. A reanalysis of EGRET E>100 MeV data was also…

HESS Observations and VLT Spectroscopy of PG 1553+113

HESS Collaboration, F. Aharonian

AIMS: The properties of the very high energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency peaked BL Lac PG 1553+113 are investigated. An attempt is made to measure t…

An Exceptional VHE Gamma-Ray Flare of PKS 2155-304

F. Aharonian

The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 at redshift z=0.116 is a well-known VHE (>100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter. Since 2002 its VHE flux has been monitored using the H.E.S.S. st…

Discovery of two candidate pulsar wind nebulae in very-high-energy gamma rays

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian

We present the discovery of two very-high-energy gamma-ray sources in an ongoing systematic search for emission above 100 GeV from pulsar wind nebulae in survey data from the H.E.S…

A Measurement of the Coulomb Dissociation of 8B at 254 MeV/nucleon and the 8B Solar Neutrino Flux

N. Iwasa, F. Boue, G. Surowka +29

We have measured the Coulomb dissociation of 8B into 7Be and proton at 254 MeV/nucleon using a large-acceptance focusing spectrometer. The astrophysical S17 factor for the 7Be(p,ga…
