Abstract

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S), an array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, is used to perform searches for VHE (Very High Energy >100 GeV) gamma ray emission from astrophysical objects. Selected recent results from the H.E.S.S experiment are reported in this paper. A strong signal from the high energy source HESS J1745‐290 has been found in the vicinity of the Galactic Center. Limits on the contribution of WIMPs annihilation to the Galactic Center signal are given. Diffuse gamma emission from the Galactic plane has been detected. Results towards the galaxy M 87, another potential source of dark matter annihilations, are given.
