Capability of Cherenkov Telescopes to Observe Ultra-fast Optical Flares

C. Deil, W. Domainko, G. Hermann +4

The large optical reflector (~ 100 m^2) of a H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope was used to search for very fast optical transients of astrophysical origin. 43 hours of observations targ…

Very high energy gamma-ray observations of the galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 with H.E.S.S

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

Aims: The nearby galaxy clusters Abell 496 and Abell 85 are studied in the very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) band to investigate VHE cosmic rays (CRs) in this class of objects wh…

The energy spectrum of cosmic-ray electrons at TeV energies

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

The very large collection area of ground-based gamma-ray telescopes gives them a substantial advantage over balloon/satellite based instruments in the detection of very-high-energy…

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…

Microsecond Time Resolution Optical Photometry using a H.E.S.S. Cherenkov Telescope

C. Deil, W. Domainko, G. Hermann

We have constructed an optical photometer with microsecond time resolution, which is currently being operated on one of the H.E.S.S. telescopes. H.E.S.S. is an array of four Cheren…

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…
