A Comparison of the Galactic plane observed by HAWC and H.E.S.S.
ORAL
Abstract
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory and the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) are two leading instruments in the ground-based very high energy \textunderscore \textunderscore -ray domain. HAWC is based on the water Cherenkov detection techniques while H.E.S.S. is an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). In this talk we present results of a new analysis of the H.E.S.S. Galactic plane data, aiming at making a comparable analysis between H.E.S.S. and HAWC. We present a comparison of the Galactic plane observed by both instruments concentrating on sources seen in HAWC, but not previously observed by H.E.S.S.. The overall \textunderscore \textunderscore -ray flux of the Galactic plane is compared between HAWC and H.E.S.S. using the new analysis and the differences between them are presented.
