Searching for TeV gamma-ray emission from SGR\,1935+2154 during its 2020 X-ray and radio bursting phase
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +251
Magnetar hyperflares are the most plausible explanation for fast radio bursts (FRB) -- enigmatic powerful radio pulses with durations of several milliseconds and high brightness te…
Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS
Celine Armand, Eric Charles, Mattia di Mauro +13
Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…
The young massive stellar cluster Westerlund 1 in rays as seen with H.E.S.S
Lars Mohrmann, Andreas Specovius, Romed Rauth +2
Massive stellar clusters have recently been hypothesised as candidates for the acceleration of hadronic cosmic rays up to PeV energies. Previously, the H.E.S.S. Collaboration has r…
Evidence of 100 TeV -ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate
L. Giunti, B. Khelifi, K. Kosack +1
The identification of active PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum (at the energy of few PeV), is crucial to understand the origin…
Science verification of the new FlashCam-based camera in the 28m telescope of H.E.S.S
Gerd Pühlhofer, Konrad Bernlöhr, Baiyang Bi +13
In October 2019 the central 28m telescope of the H.E.S.S. experiment has been upgraded with a new camera. The camera is based on the FlashCam design which has been developed in vie…
Detection of extended TeV emission around the Geminga pulsar with H.E.S.S
A. M. W. Mitchell, S. Caroff, J. Hinton +1
Highly extended gamma-ray emission around the Geminga pulsar was discovered by Milagro and verified by HAWC. Despite many observations with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes…
Detection of new Extreme BL Lac objects with H.E.S.S. and Swift XRT
Mathieu de Bony de Lavergne, Tomas Bylund, Manuel Meyer +2
Extreme high synchrotron peaked blazars (EHBLs) are amongst the most powerful accelerators found in nature. Usually the synchrotron peak frequency of an EHBL is above Hz…
Predictions for gamma-rays from clouds associated with supernova remnant PeVatrons
Alison Mitchell, Gavin Rowell, Silvia Celli +1
Interstellar clouds can act as target material for hadronic cosmic rays; gamma-rays produced through inelastic proton-proton collisions and spatially associated with the clouds pro…
LMC N132D: A mature supernova remnant with a power-law gamma-ray spectrum extending beyond 8 TeV
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +233
We analyzed 252 hours of High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) observations towards the supernova remnant (SNR) LMC N132D that were accumulated between December 2004 and March…
Astronomy outreach in Namibia: H.E.S.S. and beyond
Hannah Dalgleish, Heike Prokoph, Sylvia Zhu +6
Astronomy plays a major role in the scientific landscape of Namibia. Because of its excellent sky conditions, Namibia is home to ground-based observatories like the High Energy Spe…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +318
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray d…
Pursuing the origin of the gamma rays in RX J1713.73946 quantifying the hadronic and leptonic components
Yasuo Fukui, Hidetoshi Sano, Yumiko Yamane +5
We analyzed the TeV gamma-ray image of a supernova remnant RX J1713.73946 (RX J1713) through a comparison with the interstellar medium (ISM) and the non-thermal X-rays. The gamm…
Search for dark matter annihilation signals from unidentified Fermi-LAT objects with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, H. Abdallah, F. Aharonian +226
Cosmological -body simulations show that Milky Way-sized galaxies harbor a population of unmerged dark matter subhalos. These subhalos could shine in gamma-rays and be eventuall…
Evidence of 100 TeV -ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +232
The identification of PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic ray spectrum (few eV), is crucial to understand the origin of cosmic rays…
Revealing x-ray and gamma ray temporal and spectral similarities in the GRB 190829A afterglow
H. E. S. S. Collaboration
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which are bright flashes of gamma rays from extragalactic sources followed by fading afterglow emission, are associated with stellar core collapse events.…
