Scientific paper

The H.E.S.S. detector is an array of atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes dedicated to the observation of very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. Among many types of targets, the H.E.S.S. collaboration is studying pulsar wind nebulae in the VHE gamma-ray domain. These objects can produce VHE emission by the inverse Compton process, whereby relativistic electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind interact with lower-energy ambient photons. The PWN inside SHH 15-52, G0.9+0.1, and around PSR B1259-63 have been observed by H.E.S.S. since 2004. The results of these observations are reported here.
