Measurement of the extragalactic background light imprint on the spectra of the brightest blazars observed with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +195

The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the diffuse radiation with the second highest energy density in the Universe after the cosmic microwave background. The aim of this stud…

Identification of HESS J1303-631 as a Pulsar Wind Nebula through gamma-ray, X-ray and radio observations

The H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, A. Abramowski +196

The previously unidentified very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ-ray source HESS J1303-631, discovered in 2004, is re-examined including new data from the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov teles…
