Scientific paper

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S), a third-generation array of atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes, is used to perform searches for VHE (> 100 GeV; Very High Energy) γ-ray emission from astrophysical objects with unprecedented sensitivity (5σ detection of a 1% Crab flux source in ~25 hours of observation). Prior to the commencement of H.E.S.S. observations, only ~10 sources of VHE γ-rays were known. With the recent detections by H.E.S.S. of more than 30 sources of VHE γ-rays, from a number of source classes, the understanding of the VHE sky has dramatically improved.
