Scientific paper

H.E.S.S. is an array of four imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes situated in the Khomas highlands in Namibia. Due to its large field of view, good angular resolution and excellent sensitivity it is ideally suited to detect VHE γ-ray sources. The Galactic plane survey and dedicated observations in pointing mode have led to the discovery of many previously unknown VHE γ-ray sources-galactic and extragalactic alike, including new classes of sources such as starburst galaxies. Beside the discovery potential, H.E.S.S. excels at morphological studies as well as the measurement of (spatially resolved) spectra and lightcurves down to a few minute timescales, thereby fostering the investigation of the underlying processes and emission mechanisms in the observed objects.
