Very high energy gamma-rays from binary systems
This thesis presents a study of the very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from X-ray binary systems using the H.E.S.S. imaging atmospheric Cherenkov array. The historical background and basic principles of ground-based gamma-ray astronomy are briefly reviewed and an overview of the design and ca...
