Hidden by a star: the redshift and the offset broad line of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar PKS 0903-57
P. Goldoni, C. Boisson, S. Pita +5
Context: PKS 0903-57 is a little-studied gamma-ray blazar which has recently attracted considerable interest due to the strong flaring episodes observed since 2020 in HE (100 MeV <…
Distance estimation of gamma-ray emitting BL Lac objects from imaging observations
K. Nilsson, V. Fallah Ramazani, E. Lindfors +13
Direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared (NIR) bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission…
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,…
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…
Optical spectroscopy of blazars for the Cherenkov Telescope Array -- III
F. D'Ammando, P. Goldoni, W. Max-Moerbeck +15
Due to their almost featureless optical/UV spectra, it is challenging to measure the redshifts of BL Lacs. As a result, about 50% of gamma-ray BL Lacs lack a firm measurement of th…
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…
