The very high energy (VHE) γ-ray source HESS J0632+057 has recently been confirmed to be a γ-ray binary. The optical counterpart is the Be star MWC 148, and a compact object of unknown nature orbits it every ∼321 d with a high eccentricity of ∼0.8. We monitored HESS J0632+057 with the stereoscopic MAGIC telescopes from 2010 October to 2011 March and detected significant VHE γ-ray emission durin...

Methods The present study comprised 32 patients, who underwent Endonasal Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy (EEDCR) due to NDO between 2005 and 2009 in the Ear Nose and Throat Clinic Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, and 50 subjects without NDO as the control group. The patients were retrospectively compared. Ethics committee approval was obtained from the th...

The H.E.S.S. survey of the Galactic plane has established the existence of a substantial number (∼40) of Galactic TeV γ-ray sources, a large fraction of which remain unidentified. HESS J0632+057 is one of a small fraction of these objects which is point-like in nature (< 2 ′ rms), and is one of only two point-like sources that remain unidentified. Follow-up observations of this object with XMM-...
