Probing the Nature of the Vela X Cocoon
Stephanie M. LaMassa, Patrick O. Slane, Okkie C. de Jager
Vela X is a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the active pulsar B0833-45 and contained within the Vela supernova remnant (SNR). A collimated X-ray filament ("cocoon") extend…
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…
Observation of Pulsed Gamma-rays Above 25 GeV from the Crab Pulsar with MAGIC
The MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu
One fundamental question about pulsars concerns the mechanism of their pulsed electromagnetic emission. Measuring the high-end region of a pulsar's spectrum would shed light on thi…
H.E.S.S. observations of the supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622: shell-type morphology and spectrum of a widely extended VHE gamma-ray source
HESS Collaboration, F. A. Aharonian
The shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 was observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) of Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes between December 2004 and May…
Fast variability of TeV gamma-rays from the radio galaxy M 87
HESS Collaboration, F. A. Aharonian
The detection of fast variations of the TeV (10^12 eV) gamma-ray flux, on time-scales of days, from the nearby radio galaxy M 87 is reported. These variations are ~10 times faster…
Obtaining cosmic ray propagation parameters from diffuse VHE gamma ray emission from the Galactic center ridge
I. Büsching, O. C. de Jager, J. Snyman
The recent discovery of diffuse, VHE gamma radiation from the Galactic center ridge by the H.E.S.S. telescope allow for the first time the direct determination of parameters of gal…
