چکیده
The H.E.S.S. experiment (High Energy Stereoscopic System) is a new generation atmospheric Cherenkov detector measuring high-energy (> 100 GeV) gamma radiation from the Universe. This paper briefly explains the imaging Cherenkov technique and describes the H.E.S.S. project and its current status.

High zenith angle observations of PKS 2155-304 with the MAGIC telescope
The high frequency peaked BL Lac PKS 2155-304 with a redshift z=0.116 was discovered 1997 in the VHE range by the University of Durham Mark 6 γ-ray telescope in Australia with a flux corresponding to ∼0.2 times the Crab Nebula flux [1]. It was later observed and detected with high significance by the Southern observatories CANGAROO and H.E.S.S. establishing this source as the best studied South...

متن کاملObservation of the giant radio galaxy M 87 at TeV energies with H
The giant radio galaxy M 87 was observed at TeV energies with the Cherenkov telescopes of the H.E.S.S. collaboration (High Energy Stereoscopic System). The observations have been performed in the year 2003 during the comissioning phase and in 2004 with the full four telescope setup. The observations were motivated by the measurement of the HEGRA collaboration which reported a 4.7 σ excess of Te...
متن کاملVery-High Energy Gamma-Ray Flux Limits for Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei
Combining the results of targeted observations, H.E.S.S. has accumulated a large amount of extra-galactic exposure at TeV energies. Due to its large field of view a considerable part of the sky (0.6 sr) has been observed with high sensitivity outside the targeted observation positions. Since this exposure region contains little inherent bias, it is well suited for studies of extra-galactic sour...
