The H.E.S.S. transients follow-up system
C. Hoischen, M. Füßling, S. Ohm +12
Observations of astrophysical transients have brought many novel discoveries and provided new insights into physical processes at work under extreme conditions in the Universe. Mul…
Science verification of the new FlashCam-based camera in the 28m telescope of H.E.S.S
Gerd Pühlhofer, Konrad Bernlöhr, Baiyang Bi +13
In October 2019 the central 28m telescope of the H.E.S.S. experiment has been upgraded with a new camera. The camera is based on the FlashCam design which has been developed in vie…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
H. Abdalla, F. Aharonian, F. Ait Benkhali +318
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray d…
A NECTAr-based upgrade for the Cherenkov cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-meter telescopes
Terry Ashton, Michael Backes, Arnim Balzer +41
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is one of the three arrays of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) currently in operation. It is composed of four 12-mete…
Performance of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Bonnefoy, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
The 14 years old cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-m telescopes have been upgraded in 2015/2016, with the goals of reducing the system failure rate, reducing the dead time and improving t…
Hardware and software architecture of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras
S. Klepser, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37
In 2015/16, the photomultiplier cameras of the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes CT1-4 have undergone a major upgrade. The entire electronics has been replaced, using NECTAr chips for…
A major electronics upgrade for the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes 1-4
G. Giavitto, T. Ashton, A. Balzer +31
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located in the Khomas Highland in Namibia. It consists of four 12-m t…
The H.E.S.S. central data acquisition system
A. Balzer, M. Füßling, M. Gajdus +6
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is a system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located in the Khomas Highland in Namibia. It measures cosmic gamma r…
Morphometric analysis in gamma-ray astronomy using Minkowski functionals - Source detection via structure quantification
D. Göring, M. A. Klatt, C. Stegmann +1
Aims. H.E.S.S. observes an increasing number of large extended sources. A new technique based on the structure of the sky map is developed to account for these additional structure…
Towards a Flexible Array Control and Operation Framework for CTA
E. Birsin, J. Colomé, D. Hoffmann +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) \cite{CTA:2010} will be the successor to current Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) like H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS. CTA will impr…
