Very high energy gamma-rays probe the long-standing mystery of the origin of cosmic rays. Produced in the interactions of accelerated particles in astrophysical objects, they can be used to image cosmic particle accelerators. A first sensitive survey of the inner part of the Milky Way with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) reveals a population of eight previously unknown firmly detected sources of very high energy gamma-rays. At least two have no known radio or X-ray counterpart and may be representative of a new class of `dark' nucleonic cosmic ray sources.

  1. Multiwavelength study of non-thermal emission in the Swift J1834.9-0846/W41 region

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Modeling favors a lepto-hadronic supernova remnant for the extended TeV emission from HESS J1834-087 plus a leptonic magnetar wind nebula for the central point-like source, with an implied magnetar birth spin period b...

  2. Non-thermal emission from the vicinity of the magnetar CXOU J171405.7-381031

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Both leptonic and lepto-hadronic models fit the CTB 37B gamma-ray spectrum; neutral-pion decay matches above ~10 TeV but needs ~10^51 erg in protons unless the remnant hits dense gas.

  3. Constraining leptonic and hadronic gamma-ray emission from HESS J1825-137 and its environment

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Multi-telescope spectral modeling of HESS J1825-137 using Naima and MCMC shows leptonic dominance for existing GeV-TeV data but lepto-hadronic preference when adding simulated CTAO or LHAASO UHE points.

  4. Introduction to multi-messenger astronomy

    astro-ph.HE 2019-07 unverdicted

    The paper supplies an introductory lecture-style summary of observational techniques, astronomical sources, and physical processes across the four main messengers in multi-messenger astronomy.
