Abstract

We report the detection of TeV -rays from the shell-type supernova remnant RX J0852.0-4622 with data of 3.2 h of live time recorded with HESS in February 2004. An excess of (700 60) events from the whole remnant with a significance of 12 was found. The observed emission region is clearly extended wi...
