The PeV Frontier: Status of Gamma-ray astronomy after two decades with H.E.S.S., MAGIC, VERITAS and the new window recently opened by HAWC and LHAASO
J. Devin
One of the main purposes in -ray astronomy is linked to the origin of Galactic cosmic rays. Unlike cosmic rays, rays can be used to probe their production sites in the Gal…
High-Statistics Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Electron Spectrum with H.E.S.S
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +144
Owing to their rapid cooling rate and hence loss-limited propagation distance, cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CRe) at very high energies probe local cosmic-ray accelerators an…
Very-high-energy -ray emission from young massive star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +129
The Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud is known for its high star formation activity. At its center lies the young massive star cluster R136, providing a significant am…
H.E.S.S. observations of the 2021 periastron passage of PSR B1259-63/LS 2883
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +141
PSR B1259-63 is a gamma-ray binary system that hosts a pulsar in an eccentric orbit, with a 3.4 year period, around an O9.5Ve star. At orbital phases close to periastron passages,…
