The sky observed by space telescopes in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) can be dominated by stray light from multiple sources including the Earth, Sun and Moon. This stray light presents a significant challenge to missions that aim to make a secure…

High energy observations of extreme BL Lac objects, such as 1ES 0229+200 or 1ES 0347-121, recently focused interest both for blazar and jet physics and for the implication on the extragalactic background light and intergalactic magnetic…

AIMS: To investigate the very high energy (VHE: >100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from the high-frequency peaked BL Lac 1ES 0229+200. METHODS: Observations of 1ES 0229+200 at energies above 580 GeV were performed with the High Energy…

The HEGRA-IACT-system with a FoV of ~1.5 deg radius has been used for surveying one quater of the Galactic disc in respect to point sources, moderately extended sources and for diffuse emission in the energy range above 1 TeV. In total 140…

Very-high-energy astronomy studies the Universe at energies between 30 GeV and 100 TeV. The past decade has seen enormous progress in this field. There are now at least seven known sources of VHE photons. By studying these objects in the…

The BeppoSAX High Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) has surveyed about 85 deg^2 of sky in the 5-10 keV band down to a flux of 4-5 10^-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The source surface density of 16.9+-6.4 deg$^{-2}$ at the survey limit corresponds to a…
