Study of Galactic Sources with H.E.S.S
نویسنده
چکیده
The H.E.S.S. imaging air Cherenkov telescope array has performed a blind survey at energies above 100 GeV of parts of the Galactic plane as well as dedicated (deeper) observations of gamma-ray source candidates.New sources including shell type super-nova remnants, pulsar-wind nebulae, binary systems, cosmic ray illuminated molecular clouds, as well as unidentified sources have been found. In this contribution, a selected overview of the recent results focussing on shell type supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae is given.

The H.E.S.S. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Array is currently the most sensitive
The H.E.S.S. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope Array is currently the most sensitive instrument for Very High Energy (VHE) γ-ray observations in the energy range of about 0.1-10 TeV. During more than two years of operation with the complete 4-telescope array, many galactic and extragalactic VHE γ-ray sources have been discovered. With its superior sensitivity and its large field-of-view c...
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...
متن کاملSearch for Pulsar Wind Nebula Associations of Unidentified TeV γ−Ray Sources
Many of the recently discovered galactic very high-energy γ−ray sources are associated with pulsar wind nebulae, which represent the most populous galactic source class at TeV energies. In addition, H.E.S.S. detector discovered in the galactic plane survey a representative population of unidentified TeV γ−ray sources. For a number of these sources a pulsar is an evident association, which is of...
متن کاملPotential Neutrino Signals from Galactic γ-Ray Sources
The recent progress made in Galactic γ-ray astronomy using the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) instrument provides for the first time a population of Galactic TeV γ-ray, and hence potential neutrino sources, for which the neutrino flux can be estimated. Using the energy spectra and source morphologies measured by H.E.S.S., together with new parameterisations of pion production and de...
متن کاملFlux upper limits for 47 AGN observed with H.E.S.S. in 2004−2011
Context. About 40% of the observation time of the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is dedicated to studying active galactic nuclei (AGN), with the aim of increasing the sample of known extragalactic very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) sources and constraining the physical processes at play in potential emitters. Aims. H.E.S.S. observations of AGN, spanning a period from April 2004 to ...
