Evidence for gamma-ray emission from the Kepler supernova remnant from deep H.E.S.S. observations
Observations with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) have enhanced our knowledge of nearby supernova (SN) remnants with ages younger than 500 years by establishing Cassiopeia A and the remnant of Tycho’s SN as very-high-energy…
A MeerKAT, e-MERLIN, H.E.S.S. and Swift search for persistent and transient emission associated with three localised FRBs
We report on a search for persistent radio emission from the one-off fast radio burst (FRB) 20190714A, as well as from two repeating FRBs, 20190711A and 20171019A, using the MeerKAT radio telescope. For FRB…
Time-resolved hadronic particle acceleration in the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi
Recurrent novae are repeating thermonuclear explosions in the outer layers of white dwarfs, due to the accretion of fresh material from a binary companion. The shock generated when ejected material slams into the companion…
Observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 with the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS telescopes
The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632+057 collected during 450 hr over 15 yr, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and…
H.E.S.S. follow-up observations of Binary Black Hole Coalescence events during the second and third Gravitational Waves observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
We report on the observations of four well-localized binary black hole (BBH) mergers by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) during the second and third observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, O2…
LMC N132D: A mature supernova remnant with a power-law gamma-ray spectrum extending beyond 8 TeV
Context. Supernova remnants (SNRs) are commonly thought to be the dominant sources of Galactic cosmic rays up to the knee of the cosmic-ray spectrum at a few PeV. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes have revealed…
Evidence of 100 TeV gamma-ray emission from HESS J1702-420: A new PeVatron candidate
Aims. The identification of PeVatrons, hadronic particle accelerators reaching the knee of the cosmic ray spectrum (few × 1015 eV), is crucial to understand the origin of cosmic rays in the Galaxy. We provide an update on…
Searching for TeV gamma-ray emission from SGR 1935+2154 during its 2020 X-ray and radio bursting phase
Magnetar hyperflares are the most plausible explanation for fast radio bursts (FRBs)—enigmatic powerful radio pulses with durations of several milliseconds and high brightness temperatures. The first observational evidence for this scenario was obtained in…
Search for dark matter annihilation signals from unidentified Fermi-LAT objects with H.E.S.S
Cosmological N-body simulations show that Milky Way–sized galaxies harbor a population of unmerged dark matter (DM) subhalos. These subhalos could shine in gamma-rays and eventually be detected in gamma-ray surveys as unidentified sources. We…
TeV emission of Galactic plane sources with HAWC and H.E.S.S
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray domain. HAWC employs the water Cherenkov detection (WCD) technique, while H.E.S.S.…
