Talk
The current generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes has its resolution power limited to few arcminute scale.
Recently, new simulations and analysis techniques, applied to H.E.S.S. observations, made possible the measure of the extension
of very high energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray sources below one arcminute. The improved understanding of the point spread function...

Gamma-rays
Talk
Nearby electron and positron accelerators, especially Pulsar Wind Nebulae, have been proposed as potential origins of the local multi-GeV positron excess. The HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory has reported very extended TeV gamma-ray emission around two nearby middle-aged pulsars Geminga and B0656+14, suggesting ultra-relativistic electrons and positrons accelerated in our backyard. The gamma-ray...
