The H.E.S.S. View of the Central 200 Parsecs

The inner few hundred parsecs of our galaxy provide a laboratory for the study of the production and propagation of energetic particles. Very-high-energy γ-rays provide an effective probe of these processes and, especially when combined with data from other wave-bands, γ-rays observations are a powerful diagnostic tool. Within this central region, data from the H.E.S.S. instrument have revealed three discrete sources of very-high-energy γ-rays and diffuse emission correlated with the distribution of molecular material. Here I provide an overview of these recent results from H.E.S.S..


PACS

98.38.Cp Interstellar dust grains; diffuse emission; infrared cirrus

98.35.Jk Galactic center, bar, circumnuclear matter, and bulge (including black hole and distance measurements)

98.35.Bd Chemical composition and chemical evolution

Subjects

Astrophysics and astroparticles
