The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) - is a system of four, 107 m^2 mirror area, imaging Cherenkov telescopes under construction in the Khomas Highland of Namibia (1800 m asl). The H.E.S.S. system is characterised by a low threshold (~ 100 GeV) and a ~1 % Crab flux sensitivity resulting from the good angular resolution and background rejection provided by the stereoscopic technique. The first two telescopes are operational and first results are reported here. The remaining two telescopes (of H.E.S.S. Phase-I) will be commissioned early in 2004.

  1. Fermi-Large Area Telescope Detection of Very High Energy (>100 GeV) Emission from Compton-Dominated Blazars

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Systematic Fermi-LAT search detects VHE emission from 14 Compton-dominated blazars (4 new at >5σ) and constrains the emitting region to >1.1–1.4 BLR radii.
