A multi-wavelength view of HESS J1626-490
September 2010 Radio image of the region around HESS J1626-490, showing as a prominent feature the (in projection) nearby supernova remnant G335.2+0.1. The black contour lines indicate the very high energy gamma-ray source. The…
Yet another gamma-ray source in the Westerlund 2 field of view
August 2010 Gamma-ray sky around the Westerlund 2 region. The extended bright source in the North is the HESS J1023-575 / HESS J1026-582 complex, see SOM 4/2010. As a result of deep observations of…
Probing quantum gravity with TeV gamma rays
July 2010 The light curve of gamma-rays in the huge flare of the blazar PKS 2155-304 in 2006 can be used to search for a Lorentz-invariance violating variation of the speed of light with…
HESS discovers gamma rays from the Active Galaxy PKS 0548-322
June 2010 The Active Galactic Nucleus PKS 0548-322 as seen by HESS in Very High Energy gamma rays. PKS 0548−322 is a nearby and bright BL Lac object, located at a distance of one…
More about HESS J1708-410
May 2010 Very high energy gamma-ray image of HESS J1708-410. The dashed line indicates the galactic equator. Roughly half of the gamma-ray sources discovered by H.E.S.S. lack definitive counterparts at other wavelengths, and a…
A new VHE gamma-ray source emerging near the Westerlund 2 stellar cluster
April 2010 Chandra X-ray view of the central 8′ of the Westerlund 2 cluster. The red, green and blue colors correspond to soft (0.3 – 1 keV), medium (1 – 2 keV) and hard…
Vela X revisited
March 2010 90 cm Radio image of Vela X (Frail et al. 1997) . The image shows a high-intensity region emerging south from the Vela pulsar – termed the cocoon (yellow circle) – and…
Forgotten sources? HESS J1634-472 and HESS J1632-478
February 2010 Gamma-ray sky map of the regions of HESS J1634-472 and HESS J1632-478. Also included are the locations of four Fermi LAT sources (black dashed circles; the circle size indicates position uncertainty, not…
News about HESS J1858+020
January 2010 The very high energy gamma ray source HESS J1858+020 is located about 0.6 degr. off the Galactic plane, which is indicated by the dashed line. The color indicates the strength of the…
