A Galaxy in VHE Gamma-rays: H.E.S.S. Observations of the Galactic - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

������������� ��������������������������������������� A Galaxy in VHE Gamma-rays: H.E.S.S. Observations of the Galactic Plane R D Parsons, P Bordas & S Klepser, on behalf of the H.E.S.S. collaboration

Almost 2700 hours of observation taken on the galactic plane by H.E.S.S. Coverage to at least 10% Crab Flux HESS Galactic Plane Survey Much better in most places

Sources with measured distance ~ 1/4 coverage of the galaxy to 10% Crab Luminosity 10% Crab Horizon 1% Crab Horizon

Source Types 78 sources discovered in total Most do not have strong strong associations with known MWL sources Of the known sources PWN are the most numerous class May have multiple potential counterparts

Can be used to extract properties of PWN population See poster (731) by Klepser et al HESS J1741 Note: selection criteria for PWN candidates are looser

“New Shells” Blind search made on the HGPS maps for shell-like sources Returned 3 new SNR candidates - HESS J1614-518, HESS J1912+101 & HESS J1534-571 HESS J1614-518 & HESS J1912+101 have no low energy shell counterpart HESS J1534-571 correlates well with SNR G323.7-1.0

The Galactic Centre “PeVatron” Diffuse emission shows a power-law spectrum up to 50 TeV with no sign of a cut-off Injection model fit to spectrum, solving transport equation of protons injected at the Galactic Centre Quasi continuous injection lasting ~ 10 4 years Total CR power injected at GC ~ 10 38 erg/s Parent proton spectrum extends to PeV energies First detection of a galactic PeVatron ! 17
