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...

H.E.S.S. observations of PKS 2155-304 (2005)
Journal Article
The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 at redshift z=0.117 has been detected with high significance (~45sigma) at energies greater than 160 GeV, using the H.E.S.S. stereoscopic array of imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes in Namibia. A strong sig... Read More about H.E.S.S. observations of PKS 2155-304.
High-energy particle acceleration in the shell of a supernova remnant (2004)
Journal Article
A significant fraction of the energy density of the interstellar medium is in the form of high-energy charged particles (cosmic rays)1. The origin of these particles remains uncertain. Although it is generally accepted that the only sources capable o... Read More about High-energy particle acceleration in the shell of a supernova remnant.
Calibration of cameras of the H.E.S.S. detector (2004)
Journal Article
H.E.S.S.—the high energy stereoscopic system—is a new system of large atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes for GeV/TeV astronomy. Each of the four telescopes of 107 m2 mirror area is equipped with a 960-pixel photomultiplier-tube camera. This paper descr... Read More about Calibration of cameras of the H.E.S.S. detector.
Very high energy gamma rays from the direction of Sagittarius A<SUP>*</SUP> (2004)
Journal Article
We report the detection of a point-like source of very high energy (VHE) -rays coincident within 1' of Sgr A *, obtained with the HESS array of Cherenkov telescopes. The -rays exhibit a power-law energy spectrum with a spectral index of and a flux ab... Read More about Very high energy gamma rays from the direction of Sagittarius A<SUP>*</SUP>.
