We present the Herschel Extragalactic Legacy Project (HELP). This project collates, curates, homogenises, and creates derived data products for most of the premium multi-wavelength extragalactic data sets. The sky boundaries for the first…
We present the Heraklion Extragalactic Catalogue, or HECATE, an all-sky value-added galaxy catalogue, aiming to facilitate present and future multi-wavelength and multi-messenger studies in the local Universe. It contains 204,733 galaxies…
The H.E.S.S. experiment in Namibia, Africa, is designed to study the origin of high energy cosmic rays from 100 Gev to few tens of TeV, using the Cherenkov technique. To minimize the systematic errors on the derived fluxes of the measured…
The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) has observed the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object PKS2155-304 in 2003 between October 19 and November 26 in Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-rays (E>160 GeV for these observations). Observations…
Many results from astrophysical observations point to a 27% contribution of non-baryonic dark matter to the mass-energy budget of the universe. Although still elusive, strongly motivated candidates in form of weakly interacting massive…
Recent observational efforts using imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) have led to firm detections of very-high-energy (VHE) signals from bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), often at moderate redshifts. This work presents 15 years…
