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…
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…
Turbulent magnetic field amplification driven by cosmic-ray pressure gradients
Luke O'C. Drury, Turlough P. Downes
Observations of non-thermal emission from several supernova remnants suggest that magnetic fields close to the blastwave are much stronger than would be naively expected from simpl…
Spectral analysis and interpretation of the γ-ray emission from the Starburst galaxy NGC 253
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +192
Very-high-energy (VHE; E >100 GeV) and high-energy (HE; 100 MeV < E < 100 GeV) data from γ-ray observations performed with the H.E.S.S. telescope array and the Fermi-LAT instrument…
H.E.S.S. observations of the Carina nebula and its enigmatic colliding wind binary Eta Carinae
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +191
The massive binary system Eta Carinae and the surrounding HII complex, the Carina Nebula, are potential particle acceleration sites from which very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) γ…
Discovery of VHE γ-ray emission and multi-wavelength observations of the BL Lac object 1RXS J101015.9-311909
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +191
1RXS J101015.9-311909 is a galaxy located at a redshift of z=0.14 hosting an active nucleus belonging to the class of bright BL Lac objects. Observations at high (HE, E > 100 MeV)…
Discovery of VHE emission towards the Carina arm region with the H.E.S.S. telescope array: HESS J1018-589
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +195
The observational coverage with HESS of the Carina region in VHE gamma-rays benefits from deep exposure (40 h) of the neighboring open cluster Westerlund 2. The observations have r…
First order Fermi acceleration driven by magnetic reconnection
Luke O'C. Drury
A box model is used to study first order Fermi acceleration driven by magnetic reconnection. It is shown, at least in this simple model, that the spectral index of the accelerated…
Search for Dark Matter Annihilation Signals from the Fornax Galaxy Cluster with H.E.S.S
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +195
The Fornax galaxy cluster was observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) for a total live time of 14.5 hours, searching for very-high-energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamm…
A multiwavelength view of the flaring state of PKS 2155-304 in 2006
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +208
Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E>= 100 G…
Discovery of hard-spectrum γ-ray emission from the BL Lac object 1ES 0414+009
The HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +199
1ES 0414+009 (z = 0.287) is a distant high-frequency-peaked BL Lac object, and has long been considered a likely emitter of very-high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-rays due to its…
