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.
Long-term H.E.S.S. Collaboration member Marianne Lemoine from the University of Bordeaux has been awarded a silver medal by the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in France. The laudatory text...
Last week, the 1st semester 2026 H.E.S.S. Collaboration Meeting took place 21–24 April in Zeuthen, near Berlin, Germany. With more than 70 registered in-person participants, the meeting was very well...
In a new publication, published in the Journal of High Energy Astrophysics, we explore a multi-wavelength outburst of the blazar PKS 0903-57 that was observed in 2020. Through the detailed...
This publication reports the discovery of a pulsar wind nebula in the complex Vela Junior region. Gamma-ray emission from this region has traditionally been attributed to the supernova remnant; however,...
In this catalogue, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, we present results from 15 years of gamma-ray burst observations with H.E.S.S., carried out between 2004 and 2019. While we...
