Long-term gamma-ray observations of the binary HESS J0632+057 with H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS
The gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 has been observed at very-high energies
(E 100 GeV) for more than ten years by the major systems of imaging
atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. We present a summary of results obtained with
the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS experiments based on roughly 440 h of
observations in total. This includes a discussion of an unusually bright TeV
outburst of HESS J0632+057 in January 2018. The updated gamma-ray light curve
now covers all phases of the orbital period with significant detections in
almost all orbital phases. Results are discussed in context with simultaneous
observations with the X-ray Telescope onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory.Comment: Proceedings of the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference
