Detection of very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR B1706-44 and G343.1-2.3 with H.E.S.S

A. Abramowski, +198 more
TL;DR: In this article, a very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray source was detected with a statistical significance of 7 sigma, although no significant point-like emission was detected at the position of the energetic pulsar itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

Capability of Cherenkov Telescopes to Observe Ultra-fast Optical Flares

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the large optical reflector (∼100m2) of a H.E.S. telescope to search for very fast optical transients of astrophysical origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of gamma-ray emission from the extragalactic pulsar wind nebula N157B with the High Energy Stereoscopic System

A. Abramowski, +196 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first extragalactic pulsar wind nebula (PWN) was detected in gamma rays, N157B, located in the large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
