A mixed lepto-hadronic scenario for PKS 2155-304

Matteo Cerruti, Andreas Zech, Catherine Boisson +1

The models developed to describe the spectral energy distribution (SED) of blazars can be divided into leptonic or hadronic scenarios, according to the particles responsible for th…

Constraints on the gamma-ray emission from the cluster-scale AGN outburst in the Hydra A galaxy cluster

HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +193

In some galaxy clusters powerful AGN have blown bubbles with cluster scale extent into the ambient medium. The main pressure support of these bubbles is not known to date, but cosm…
