Recent development in the analysis techniques used by the Milagro collaboration had resulted in the discovery of an extended TeV gamma-ray source in the Cygnus region of the Galaxy. The new source MGRO J2019+37 has been detected at median energies of 12 TeV. In addition to this extended source, new TeV gamma-ray sources have been discovered at the same median energies when more data was analy ... More

The Galactic Plane is accessible to H.E.S.S. at longitudes up to 80 degrees through very low elevation observations. The ability of H.E.S.S. to observe at elevations as low as 25 degrees corresponding to an energy threshold of few TeV has been already validated through observations of the blazar Mkn 421. We report on H.E.S.S. data on the Galactic Plane up to the 80° longitude range and w ... More

We examine the impact of nonlinear diffusive shock acceleration on the TeV visibility of SNRs. A dense molecular cloud near a SNR provides a good target for pp-collisions leading to subsequent gamma ray emission through neutral pion decay. The intensity and the spectral shape of this radiation is thus determined by the spectrum of accelerated particles. This may become instrumental in distin ... More

TeV gamma-rays can result from the photo-de-excitation of PeV cosmic ray nuclei after their parents have undergone photo-disintegration in an environment of ultraviolet photons. This process is proposed as a candidate explanation of the recently discovered HESS source at the edge of Westerlund 2. The UV background is provided by Lyman-alpha emission within the rich O and B stellar environment. ... More

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), located in the Khomas Highlands of Namibia, is an array of four imaging atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes designed to detect gamma rays in the very high energy (VHE; > 100 GeV) domain. Its high sensitivity and large field of view (5 deg) make it an ideal instrument to perform a survey within the Galactic plane for new VHE sources. Previous obse ... More

As part of the normal operation of the Whipple 10m Gamma Ray telescope, ten minute drift scan “zenith” runs are made each night of observation for use as calibration. Most of the events recorded during a zenith run are due to the background of cosmic ray showers. However, it would be possible for a hitherto unknown source of gamma rays to drift through the field. This paper reports t ... More

Diffuse emission from the Milky Way dominates the gamma-ray sky. About 80% of the high-energy luminosity of the Milky Way comes from processes in the interstellar medium. The Galactic diffuse emission traces interactions of energetic particles, primarily protons and electrons, with the interstellar gas and radiation field, thus delivering information about cosmic-ray spectra in distant locati ...
