Cosmic magnetic fields are extremely effective in shaping the universe but are very difficult to track and measure. Manuel Meyer has completed a Marie-Curie Project to study cosmic magnetic fields...
Congratulations to Alison Mitchell for winning an Emmy Noether grant from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Her six-year project “Unveiling the Origin of Galactic Cosmic Rays: Exploring Pulsar Environments at the Highest...
Data obtained with the H.E.S.S. telescopes are recorded and stored in “root” format, which is widely used in the particle physics community. From the early phases the collaboration developed several...
Today, June 04, 2021, the H.E.S.S. collaboration published results of observations of the gamma ray burst GRB190829A. The study appeared in Science Vol. 372, Issue 6546, pp. 1081-1085 (2021) and...
2020 will have its place in history. The Covid-19 pandemic affected the lives of many people all over the world. That is why we are grateful to the continued efforts...
The H.E.S.S. Collaboration regularly shares updates through communications, press releases, and announcements. These provide insights into recent discoveries, highlight ongoing research, and offer glimpses into the collaborative efforts of scientists working to understand the high-energy universe. Through these updates, H.E.S.S. engages with both the scientific community and the public, sharing significant findings and events that mark progress in gamma-ray astrophysics and the exploration of cosmic phenomena.
The annual award supported by the L’Oréal foundation, the UNESCO and the French Academy of Sciences recognises PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for the excellence of their work and their...
A new H.E.S.S. publication has just appeared in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics. For this study, we have investigated how the spectra of a class of distant gamma-ray...
Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, principal investigator of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, is the recipient of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics! He was awarded the prize for...
A Brazilian consortium comprising the APOEMA group at the São Carlos Physics Institute at University of São Paulo (IFSC/USP) and the Astrogyn group at Goiás Federal University (UFG) joins the...
Last week saw the 9th Heidelberg International Symposium on High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (γ-2026) take place in its birthplace: Heidelberg, Germany. Many H.E.S.S. members attended, as pictured in the image, and...
