Journal Article
Abramowski, A., Acero, F., Aharonian, F., Akhperjanian, A., Angüner, E., Anton, G., …Kadler, M. (2013). HESS and Fermi-LAT discovery of γ-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312−423. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 434(3), 1889-1901. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt1081

A deep observation campaign carried out by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) on Centaurus A enabled the discovery of γ-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312−423, 2° away from the radio galaxy. With a differential flux at 1 TeV of ϕ(1 TeV) = (1.9 ± 0... Read More about HESS and Fermi-LAT discovery of γ-rays from the blazar 1ES 1312−423.

The quasar PKS 1510−089 (z = 0.361) was observed with the H.E.S.S. array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes during high states in the optical and GeV bands, to search for very high energy (VHE, defined as E ≥ 0.1 TeV) emission. VHE γ-rays we... Read More about H.E.S.S. discovery of VHE γ-rays from the quasar PKS 1510−089.
