A new nearby pulsar wind nebula overlapping the RX J0852.0-4622 supernova remnant
F. Acero, Y. Gallant, J. Ballet +2
Energetic pulsars can be embedded in a nebula of relativistic leptons which is powered by the dissipation of the rotational energy of the pulsar. The object PSR J0855-4644 is an en…
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…
Traces of past activity in the Galactic Centre
Gabriele Ponti, Mark R. Morris, Regis Terrier +1
The Milky Way centre hosts a supermassive Black Hole (BH) with a mass of ~4*10^6 M_Sun. Sgr A*, its electromagnetic counterpart, currently appears as an extremely weak source with…
Probing the extent of the non-thermal emission from the Vela X region at TeV energies with H.E.S.S
A. Abramowski, F. Acero, F. Aharonian +196
Vela X is a region of extended radio emission in the western part of the Vela constellation: one of the nearest pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), and associated with the energetic Vela p…
Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the extragalactic pulsar wind nebula N157B with the High Energy Stereoscopic System
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +195
We present the significant detection of the first extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) detected in gamma rays, N157B, located in the large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Pulsars with hi…
