Scientific paper

The BL Lac type object AP Lib has been targeted for ~8h of observations with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) in June and July 2010. The Fermi source 1FGL J1517.8-2423, associated with AP Lib (Abdo et al., 2010, ApJS, 188, 405), has a hard gamma-ray photon index of 2.1+/-0.1. This, combined with its proximity (z=0.049), makes AP Lib an excellent candidate for very high energy (E>100 GeV; VHE) gamma-ray emission.
