Abstract content

The high-frequency peaked BL Lac PG 1553+113 was discovered by H.E.S.S. to be a emitter of VHE (>100 GeV) gamma rays during ~8 hours of observations in 2005.
The AGN was observed again by H.E.S.S in 2006. A total of ~17 hours of additional data were taken. In addition, observations using the VLT Sinfoni instrument were made to determine the presently unknown redshift of PG 1553+113. Results of the H.E.S.S. observations, as well as from related multi-wavelength studies, will be presented.
