Discovery of very high energy gamma rays associated with an x-ray binary (2005)
Journal Article

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 binaries called microquasars behave as scaled-down active galactic nuclei...

Detection of TeV γ-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 with HESS (2005)
Journal Article

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 HESS in February 2004. An excess of ( $700 \pm 60$) events from the whole remnant with a significance of... Read More about Detection of TeV γ-ray emission from the shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 with HESS.

Discovery of extended VHE gamma-ray emission from the asymmetric pulsar wind nebula in MSH 15-52 with HESS (2005)
Journal Article

The Supernova Remnant MSH 15-52 has been observed in very high energy (VHE) γ-rays using the HESS 4-telescope array located in Namibia. A γ-ray signal is detected at the 25 sigma level during an exposure of 22.1 h live time. The image reveals an elli...

Very high energy gamma rays from the composite SNR G0.9+0.1 (2005)
Journal Article

A new population of very high energy gamma-ray sources in the Milky Way (2005)
Journal Article

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 be used to image cosmic particle accelerators. A first sensitive surv...

Search for TeV emission from the region around PSR B1706-44 with the HESS experiment (2005)
Journal Article

The region around PSR B1706–44 has been observed with the HESS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes in 2003. No evidence for γ-ray emission in the TeV range was found at the pulsar position or at the radio arc which corresponds to the supernova r...

Atmospheric sensing for the H.E.S.S. array (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Several atmospheric monitoring instruments have been installed at the H.E.S.S. gamma‐ray observatory in Namibia. Firstly, Heitronics KT19 infrared radiometers, aligned paraxially with the H.E.S.S. telescopes, measure the infrared radiation of the wat... Read More about Atmospheric sensing for the H.E.S.S. array.
