Discovery of a point-like very-high-energy γ-ray source in Monoceros
Aims. The complex Monoceros Loop SNR/Rosette Nebula region contains several potential sources of very-high-energy (VHE) γray emission and two as yet unidentified high-energy EGRET sources. Sensitive VHE observations are required to probe acceleration processes in this region. Methods. The H.E.S.S. telescope array has been used to search for very high-energy γ-ray sources in this region. CO data...
متن کاملModelling in Very - High - Energy γ - ray Astronomy
Context. Ground based Cherenkov telescope systems measure astrophysical γ-ray emission against a background of cosmic-ray induced air showers. The subtraction of this background is a major challenge for the extraction of spectra and morphology of γ-ray sources. Aims. The unprecedented sensitivity of the new generation of ground based very-high-energy γ-ray experiments such as H.E.S.S. has lead ...
متن کاملDiscovery of very high-energy γ-ray emission from the LBL object BL Lacertae
The low-frequency peaked BL Lac (LBL) object BL Lacertae was observed with the MAGIC telescope from 2005 August to December (22.2 hr), and from 2006 July to September (26.0 hr). A very high energy (VHE) γ-ray signal was discovered with a 5.1 σ excess in the 2005 data. Above 200 GeV, an integral flux of (0.6± 0.2) × 10 cm s was measured, corresponding to approximately 3% of the Crab flux. The di...
متن کاملXMM - Newton observations reveal the X - ray counterpart of the very - high - energy γ - ray source HESS J 1640 – 465
We present X-ray observations of the as of yet unidentified very high-energy (VHE) γ-ray source HESSJ1640–465 with the aim of establishing a counterpart of this source in the keV energy range, and identifying the mechanism responsible for the VHE emission. The 21.8 ksec XMM-Newton observation of HESSJ1640– 465 in September 2005 represents a significant improvement in sensitivity and angular res...
متن کاملThe primary cosmic ray spectrum in supernova remnants from very high energy γ-ray data
Supernova remnants are likely to be the accelerators of the galactic cosmic rays. Assuming the correctness of this hypothesis, we develop a method to extract the parent cosmic ray spectrum from the VHE gamma ray flux emitted by supernova remnants (and other gamma transparent sources). We illustrate the use of this technique by applying it to the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946 which has been observed...
