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…

TeV -radiation from Dark Matter annihilation in the Galactic center

D. Horns

Recent observations of the Galactic center with ground based gamma-ray instruments have revealed a TeV (10 eV) gamma-ray signal consistent with the position of Sgr A*. The d…

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…

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…
