Abstract

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located in Namibia. With the ability to detect a 1 % Crab Nebula flux source in ~25 hours of observation, H.E.S.S. is currently the most sensitive detector of astrophysical VHE (>100GeV) photons. The H.E.S.S. collaboration has published the detection of more than 30 sources of VHE γ-rays, rejecting the large cosmic-ray background, and determining the spectrum and flux of the detected sources is presented.
