Galactic Astrophysics with H.E.S.S. — •Lars Mohrmann for the H.E.S.S. collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Heidelberg, Germany

The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) is an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes that has been used to observe the sky in TeV γ rays since 2004. Thanks to its unique location in the Southern Hemisphere and several upgrades to the system, the experiment continues to enable cutting-edge astrophysics despite its age. In this contribution, I will review the latest H.E.S.S. results on Galactic γ-ray sources, including pulsar wind nebulae, young massive star clusters, microquasars, and the Galactic Centre region.

Keywords: Gamma-ray astronomy; Pulsar wind nebulae; Young massive star clusters; Microquasars; Galactic Centre
