A Smart Pixel Camera for future Cherenkov Telescopes
German Hermann, Svenja Carrigan, Bernhard Glück +1
The Smart Pixel Camera is a new camera for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, suited for a next generation of large multi-telescope ground based gamma-ray observatories. The…
A possible association of the new VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1825--137 with the pulsar wind nebula G18.0--0.7
HESS Collaboration, F. A. Aharonian
We report on a possible association of the recently discovered very high-energy -ray source HESS J1825--137 with the pulsar wind nebula (commonly referred to as G 18.0--0.7) of…
Discovery of very high energy gamma-rays associated with an X-ray binary
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
X-ray binaries are composed of a normal star in orbit around a neutron star or stellar-mass black hole. Radio and X-ray observations have led to the presumption that some X-ray bin…
A low level of extragalactic background light as revealed by gamma-rays from blazars
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The diffuse extragalactic background light consists of the sum of the starlight emitted by galaxies through the history of the Universe, and it could also have an important contrib…
A search for very high energy gamma-ray emission from the starburst galaxy NGC 253 with H.E.S.S
F. Aharonian et al.
We present the result of 28 hours of observations of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 with the H.E.S.S. detector in 2003. We find no evidence for very high energy gamma-ray emis…
Observations of Selected AGN with H.E.S.S
F. Aharonian et al.
A sample of selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) was observed in 2003 and 2004 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), an array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov teles…
Multi-wavelength observations of PKS 2155-304 with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, Aharonian
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) has observed the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object PKS2155-304 in 2003 between October 19 and November 26 in Very High Energy (VHE)…
Observations of Mkn 421 in 2004 with H.E.S.S. at large zenith angles
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
Mkn 421 was observed during a high flux state for nine nights in April and May 2004 with the fully operational High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in Namibia. The observatio…
Detection of TeV gamma-ray Emission from the Shell-Type Supernova Remnant RX J0852.0-4622 with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
We report the detection of TeV gamma-rays from the shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 with data of 3.2 h of live time recorded with H.E.S.S. in February 2004. An excess o…
Serendipitous discovery of the unidentified extended TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1303-631
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The serendipitous discovery of an unidentified extended TeVgamma-ray source close to the galactic plane named HESS J1303-631 at a significance of 21 standard deviations is reported…
A new population of very high energy gamma-ray sources in the Milky Way
F. A. Aharonian
Very high energy gamma-rays probe the long-standing mystery of the origin of cosmic rays. Produced in the interactions of accelerated particles in astrophysical objects, they can b…
Discovery of extended VHE gamma-ray emission from the asymmetric pulsar wind nebula in MSH 15-52 with H.E.S.S
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian
The Supernova Remnant MSH 15-52 has been observed in very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays using the H.E.S.S. 4-telescope array located in Namibia. A gamma-ray signal is detected at th…
Upper limits to the SN1006 multi-TeV gamma-ray flux from H.E.S.S. observations
F. Aharonian
Observations of the shell-type supernova remnant SN1006 have been carried out with the H.E.S.S. system of Cherenkov telescopes during 2003 (18.2h with two operating telescopes) and…
The unidentified TeV source (TeVJ2032+4130) and surrounding field: Final HEGRA IACT-System results
HEGRA Collaboration, F. Aharonian
The unidentified TeV source in Cygnus is now confirmed by follow-up observations from 2002 with the HEGRA stereoscopic system of Cherenkov Telescopes. Using all data (1999 to 2002)…
Search for TeV emission from the region around PSR B1706-44 with the H.E.S.S. experiment
