Locating TeV Gamma-Ray Sources with Sub-Arcminute Precision: the Pointing Calibration of the HEGRA System of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes

TL;DR: In this paper, the HEGRA IACT system was used to reconstruct the origin of individual primary particles with an accuracy of 0.1 degree or better, using bright stars distributed over the sky as references.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of very-high-energy γ-ray emission from the colliding wind binary η Car with H.E.S.S.

H. Abdalla, +236 more
TL;DR: In this article, a very high-energy (VHE; E >100 GeV) γ-ray emission from η Car around the last periastron passage in 2014 with the ground-based High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.).
Journal ArticleDOI

Characteristics of the multi-telescope coincidence trigger of the HEGRA IACT system

TL;DR: In this article, a two-level trigger scheme has been implemented to reduce the energy threshold with respect to single and multi-telescope Cherenkov telescopes, and the technical implementation of this trigger scheme and the performance of the trigger system are described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Combined Dark Matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS

Celine Armand, +415 more
TL;DR: In this article, a collaboration was formed to maximise the sensitivity of DM searches towards dSphs by combining for the first time the data from three imaging air Cherenkov telescope (IACT) arrays: HESS, MAGIC, and VERITAS; the Fermi-LAT satellite, and the water Chechenkov detector HAWC.
