The 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...

The 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...

The 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...

The 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...

The 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...

The 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.

The 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...
