Lars Mohrmann : Exploring the Universe with high-energy gamma rays using H.E.S.S.

Speaker : Dr. Lars Mohrmann (MPIK) Date : 13th January 2026 Title : Exploring the Universe with high-energy gamma rays using H.E.S.S. Abstract : The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) that has been used to observe the sky in TeV gamma rays since 2004. Thanks to its unique location in the Southern Hemisphere and several upgrades to the system, the experiment continues to enable cutting-edge astrophysics despite its age. In my talk I will showcase the astrophysics that can be probed with IACTs, focusing on recent scientific highlights from H.E.S.S.
