Christoph Deil (MPI for Nuclear Physics, Heidelberg)04/08/2015, 14:00GA-EXOral contributionThe H.E.S.S. Galactic plane survey (HGPS) was performed with the H.E.S.S. I Cherenkov telescope array in Namibia from 2004 to 2013. Roughly ~2800 hours of high-quality observations of the Galactic disk are available in the Galactic longitude range 250 to 65 degrees and Galactic latitude range |b| < 3.5 degrees. This is the first high-resolution (~0.1 deg) and sensitive (~2% Crab nebula...Go to contribution page

Aion Viana (MAX-PLANCK-INSTITUT FÜR KERNPHYSIK)04/08/2015, 14:15GA-EXOral contributionThe Galactic Centre region has been observed by the H.E.S.S. I array of ground-based Cherenkov telescopes since 2004 leading to the detection of the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray source HESS J1745-290 spatially coincident with the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. Diffuse TeV gamma-ray emission has been detected along the Galactic ridge, most likely due to cosmic-ray interactions...Go to contribution page

Peter Eger (MPIK Heidelberg)04/08/2015, 14:30GA-EXOral contributionThe shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RX J1713.7-3946 is one of the brightest TeV gamma-ray sources in the Galaxy detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.). Despite extensive multi-wavelength coverage in gamma-rays, X-rays and lower energy regimes, the nature of the underlying gamma-ray radiation mechanisms is still under debate. Here, we present new precision...Go to contribution page

Nukri Komin (Wits University)04/08/2015, 14:45GA-EXOral contributionThe Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is an irregular satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, which has been observed extensively at Very-High-Energy (VHE) gamma-rays with the H.E.S.S. telescopes, obtaining a deep exposure of 210 hours. In this talk we will present the results of this campaign. Besides the already known PWN N 157B, these observations establish significant VHE gamma-ray emission from...Go to contribution page

Michael Gajdus (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin)04/08/2015, 15:15GA-EXOral contributionThe Vela pulsar (PSR J0835-4510) is the brightest persistent source in the high-energy γ-ray sky. It is a relatively near, young and energetic rotation-powered pulsar. Vela was a key target for the High Energy Stereoscopic System phase II array (H.E.S.S. II). Observations were carried out following a hint of pulsed emission above 20 GeV seen using Fermi-LAT data. In this talk we present...Go to contribution page

Dr Robert Parsons (Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics)04/08/2015, 15:30GA-EXOral contributionThe Galactic Centre has been studied with the H.E.S.S. array for over 10 years, revealing a bright, complex gamma-ray morphology above 100 GeV. Besides a strong point-like very-high-energy gamma-ray source coincident with the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, previous analyses also revealed a diffuse ridge of gamma-ray emission, indicative of a powerful cosmic-ray accelerator in this region. ...Go to contribution page

Dmitry Zaborov (LLR - Ecole Polytechnique)04/08/2015, 15:45GA-EXOral contributionThe recent addition of the 28 m Cherenkov telescope (CT5) to the H.E.S.S. array extended the experiment's sensitivity towards low energies. The lowest energy threshold is obtained using monoscopic observations with CT5, providing access to gamma-ray energies below 100 GeV. This is particularly beneficial for studies of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with soft spectra and located at redshifts...Go to contribution page
