摘要:

H.E.S.S.的意见大气切伦科夫望远镜成像系统提供了在150 GeV - 30 TeV能量范围内对银河系中心区域最灵敏的测量。我们银河系的动力学中心附近有许多物体,它们可能会将粒子加速到非常高的能量(VHE,> 100 GeV),从而产生观测到的伽马射线通量。在统计误差和系统误差范围内,H.E.S.S.被发现与超大质量黑洞Sgr A* 和最近发现的PWN候选者G359.95-0.04的位置非常一致。由于系统指向误差约为30“,因此不能排除2004年H.E.S.S.与SNR Sgr A East的可能联系。数据在这篇文章中,提供了关于H.E.S.S.的最新情况。银河系中心使用2005/2006年数据。系统的指向误差被减少到每轴6“,使用导向望远镜进行指向校正,使得有可能排除具有高度意义的Sgr A East作为VHE伽马射线的来源。

英文摘要:

Observations by the H.E.S.S. system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes provide the most sensitive measurements of the Galactic Centre region in the energy range 150 GeV - 30 TeV. The vicinity of the kinetic centre of our galaxy harbours numerous objects which could potentially accelerate particles to very high energies (VHE, > 100 GeV) and thus produce the Gamma-ray flux observed. Within statistical and systematic errors, the centroid of the point-like emission measured by H.E.S.S. was found to be in good agreement with the position of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* and the recently discovered PWN candidate G359.95-0.04. Given a systematic pointing error of about 30'', a possible association with the SNR Sgr A East could not be ruled out with the 2004 H.E.S.S. data. In this contribution an update is given on the position of the H.E.S.S. Galactic Centre source using 2005/2006 data. The systematic pointing error is reduced to 6'' per axis using guiding telescopes for pointing corrections, making it possible to exclude with high significance Sgr A East as the source of the VHE Gamma-Rays.
