XMM - Newton observations reveal the X - ray counterpart of the very - high - energy γ - ray source HESS J 1640 – 465
We present X-ray observations of the as of yet unidentified very high-energy (VHE) γ-ray source HESSJ1640–465 with the aim of establishing a counterpart of this source in the keV energy range, and identifying the mechanism responsible for the VHE emission. The 21.8 ksec XMM-Newton observation of HESSJ1640– 465 in September 2005 represents a significant improvement in sensitivity and angular res...
متن کاملImaging Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescopes
The technique of γ-ray astronomy at very high energies (VHE:> 100 GeV) with ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes is described, the H.E.S.S. array in Namibia serving as example. Mainly a discussion of the physical principles of the atmospheric Cherenkov technique is given, emphasizing its rapid development during the last decade. The present status is illustrated by two examples...
متن کاملHigh-(Energy)-Lights The Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Sky
The high-lights of ground-based very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gammaray astronomy are reviewed. The summary covers both Galactic and extragalactic sources. Implications for our understanding of the non-thermal Universe are discussed. Identified VHE sources include various types of supernova remnants (shell-type, mixed morphology, composite) including pulsar wind nebulae, and X-ray binary s...
متن کاملVery high-energy gamma rays from gamma-ray bursts.
Very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy has undergone a transformation in the last few years, with telescopes of unprecedented sensitivity having greatly expanded the source catalogue. Such progress makes the detection of a gamma-ray burst at the highest energies much more likely than previously. This paper describes the facilities currently operating and their chances for detecting gamma-ra...
متن کاملChandra Observation of the Unidentified TeV Gamma-Ray Source HESS J1303−631 in the Galactic Plane
The imaging atmospheric Cherenkov array H.E.S.S. recently discovered an extended source in the 0.4−10 TeV energy range, HESS J1303−631. We obtained a 5 ks observation with the ACIS-I array on the Chandra X-ray observatory that does not reveal an obvious compact or diffuse X-ray counterpart. Archival ROSAT images are also blank in this region. Although there are several radio pulsars within the ...
