September 2011 The location of HESS J0632+057, coincident with the massive star MWC 148, near the Rosette Nebula and the Monoceros Loop. From Maier et al. 2011 Most Galactic TeV gamma-ray sources are extended…
Gamma rays from supernova G15.4+0.1
August 2011 Gamma ray sky map of the region of the supernova remnant G15.4+0.1. Superimposed in green are radio observations, in which the shell G15.4+0.1 was discovered. With increasing exposure in the H.E.S.S. Galactic…
Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the blazar 1ES 0414+009
July 2011 Star chart from the 1983 discovery paper (Ulmer et. al) where the X-ray source detected by HEAO 1 in the region defined by the parallel lines was identified as the blazar 1ES…
HESS J1831-098, a new gamma-ray discovered pulsar wind nebula?
June 2011 The source HESS J1831-098 and its location in the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey. HESS J1831-098 (top image and Fig. 1) is a new very high energy gamma-ray source at longitude 21.8 degr.…
Gamma-ray emission from the direction of the globular cluster Terzan 5
May 2011 Near infra-red image of the globular cluster Terzan 5. The field of view is 40 arcseconds across. (Source: ESO) Globular clusters (GCs) are very old stellar systems with exceptionally high densities of…
VHE gamma rays from the vicinity of the supernova remnant G318.2+0.1
April 2011 Radio image at 843 MHz of the supernova remnant G318.2+0.1 (Whiteoak & Green 1996). The on-going H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey continues to reveal new sources of very high energy (VHE) gamma rays.…
