The 2014 TeV Gamma-ray Flare of Mrk 501 Seen with H.E.S.S.: Temporal and Spectral Constraints on Lorentz Invariance Violation

H. Abdalla, +232 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the H.E.S. phase-II array of Cherenkov telescopes to constrain Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) using two independent channels: a temporal approach considers the possibility of an energy dependence in the arrival time of gamma rays, whereas a spectral approach considers modifications to the interaction of VHE gamma rays with extragalactic background light photons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagation

H. Abdalla, +504 more
TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics as mentioned in this paper, which can be explored as part of the Key Science Projects of CTA through simulated observations of active galactic nuclei and of their relativistic jets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Searches for gamma-ray lines and 'pure WIMP' spectra from Dark Matter annihilations in dwarf galaxies with H.E.S.S.

H. Abdalla, +234 more
TL;DR: The H.E.S.S experiment has observed five dwarf spheroidal galaxies for a total of abo... as mentioned in this paper, which are among the most promising targets for detecting signals of Dark Matter (DM) annihilations.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the influence of the convective efficiency on the determination of the atmospheric parameters of DA white dwarfs

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed calculation of model atmospheres is presented for DA white dwarfs where several versions of the mixing-length theory, with different associated convective efficiencies, are used.
