H.E.S.S. Observations of the Galactic Plane — •Stefan Hoppe for the H.E.S.S. collaboration — MPI fuer Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of four imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes located in the Khomas Highlands of Namibia. Its high sensitivity and big field of view (5) makes it the ideal instrument to perform a scan within the galactic plane. Previous observations in the years 2004/2005 have resulted in numerous detections of VHE gamma ray emitters in the region l = 300 - 30 galactic longitude. In the year 2006 the scan has been extended further out to the regions l = 280-300 and l = 30-60. The status and the results of these H.E.S.S. observations are reported here.
