VERITAS observations of HESS J0632+057
HESS J0632+057 is one of only two unidentified high energy gamma-ray sources which appear to be point-like in nature. It is possibly associated with the massive star MWC 148 and has been suggested to resemble known TeV binary systems like LS I +61 303 or LS 5039. These binaries are rare and extreme (only three TeV binaries are known to date), and their gamma-ray emission mechanism has not been ...
متن کاملObservations of the Crab nebula with HESS
Context. The Crab nebula was observed with the HESS stereoscopic Cherenkov-telescope array between October 2003 and January 2005 for a total of 22.9 h (after data quality selection). This period of time partly overlapped with the commissioning phase of the experiment; observations were made with three operational telescopes in late 2003 and with the complete 4 telescope array in January–Februar...
متن کاملHESS Observations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae
The high resolution capabilities of the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) introduced a new era in Gamma-Ray Astronomy, and opens a new window on pulsar wind nebula (PWN) research. A rotationally induced jet (associated with PSR B1509-58) is resolved for the first time in γ-rays, allowing us to trace the particle transport directly, without having the complicating effect of spatially varyin...
متن کاملObservations of selected AGN with HESS
A sample of selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) was observed in 2003 and 2004 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS), an array of imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes in Namibia. The redshifts of these candidate very-highenergy (VHE, >100 GeV) γ-ray emitters range from z = 0.00183 to z = 0.333. Significant detections were already reported for some of these objects, such as PKS 21...
متن کاملVLT Observations of Two Unusual BAL Quasars
Among the unusual broad absorption line quasars being found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) are objects with much stronger absorption in Fe iii than Fe ii. These unusual line ratios require a high density in the outflow (nH ≥ 3×10 10 cm). They should also appear for only a limited range of outflow column densities, which explains their rarity. Previously we suggested that the Fe iii line...
