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…
The relation between Simulated Multiwavelength Blazar Variability and Stochastic Fluctuations
Hannes Thiersen, Michael Zacharias, Markus Böttcher
Blazars exhibit multiwavelength variability, a phenomenon whose underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study investigates the origin of such variability through leptonic blazar…
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,…
The optical spectropolarimetric behaviour of a selection of high-energy blazars
J. Barnard, B. van Soelen, S. Acharya +8
At optical/ultraviolet energies, blazars display an underlying thermal (unpolarized) contribution from the accretion disc, torus and line emitting regions, diluting the polarized e…
Broadband Multi-wavelength Properties of M87 during the 2018 EHT Campaign including a Very High Energy Flaring Episode
J. C. Algaba, M. Balokovic, S. Chandra +738
The nearby elliptical galaxy M87 contains one of the only two supermassive black holes whose emission surrounding the event horizon has been imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope (…
Unveiling extended gamma-ray emission around HESS J1813-178
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +147
HESS J1813178 is a very-high-energy -ray source spatially coincident with the young and energetic pulsar PSR J18131749 and thought to be associated with its pulsar wind ne…
Curvature in the very-high energy gamma-ray spectrum of M87
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +132
The radio galaxy M87 is a variable very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray source, exhibiting three major flares reported in 2005, 2008, and 2010. Despite extensive studies, the origin of…
Acceleration and transport of relativistic electrons in the jets of the microquasar SS 433
F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali, J. Aschersleben +161
SS 433 is a microquasar, a stellar binary system with collimated relativistic jets. We observed SS 433 in gamma rays using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), finding a…
TeV flaring activity of the AGN PKS 0625-354 in November 2018
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +139
Most -ray detected active galactic nuclei are blazars with one of their relativistic jets pointing towards the Earth. Only a few objects belong to the class of radio galaxies or…
TELAMON: Effelsberg monitoring of AGN jets with very-high-energy astroparticle emission -- I. Program description and sample characterization
F. Eppel, M. Kadler, J. Heßdörfer +23
Aims. We introduce the TELAMON program which is using the Effelsberg 100-m telescope to monitor the radio spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) under scrutiny in astroparticle ph…
