H.E.S.S. Observations of PKS 2155-304
The H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 at redshift z=0.117 has been detected with high significance (~45 sigma) at energies greater than 160 GeV, using the H.E.S.S. stereosc…
High-energy particle acceleration in the shell of a supernova remnant
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
A significant fraction of the energy density of the interstellar medium is in the form of high-energy charged particles (cosmic rays). The origin of these particles remains uncerta…
High energy gamma rays from the massive black hole in the Galactic Center
Felix Aharonian, Andrii Neronov
Accreting black holes are believed to be sites of possible particle acceleration with favorable conditions also for effective gamma-ray production. However, because of photon-photo…
Very high energy gamma rays from the direction of Sagittarius A*
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
We report the detection of a point-like source of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays coincident within 1' of Sgr A*, obtained with the H.E.S.S. array of Cherenkov telescopes. The ga…
Spectral properties of nonthermal X-ray emission from the shell-type SNR RX J1713.7-3946 as revealed by XMM-Newton
Junko S. Hiraga, Yasunobu Uchiyama, Tadayuki Takahashi +1
We present the results of our morphological and spectral study of properties of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 based on data obtained with XMM-Newton. Highly inhomogeneous s…
The Crab nebula: Linking MeV synchrotron and 50 TeV inverse Compton photons
D. Horns, F. A. Aharonian
Pulsar wind driven synchrotron nebulae are offering a unique view on the connection of the pulsar wind and the surrounding medium. The Crab nebula is particularly well suited for d…
The Crab Nebula and Pulsar between 500 GeV and 80 TeV: Observations with the HEGRA stereoscopic air Cherenkov telescopes
F. Aharonian et al.
The Crab supernova remnant has been observed regularly with the stereoscopic system of 5 imaging air Cherenkov telescopes that was part of the High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy (HEGR…
Calibration of cameras of the H.E.S.S. detector
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
H.E.S.S. - the High Energy Stereoscopic System- is a new system of large atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for GeV/TeV astronomy. Each of the four telescopes of 107 m^2 mirror area…
Observations of 54 Active Galactic Nuclei with the HEGRA System of Cherenkov Telescopes
The HEGRA Collaboration, F. Aharonian, A. Akhperjanian +1
A sample of 54 selected Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has been observed with the HEGRA stereoscopic system of Cherenkov Telescopes between 1996 and 2002 in the TeV energy regime. Th…
