Discovery of VHE γ-rays from the high-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object RGB J0152+017

Aims. The BL Lac object RGB J0152+017 ($z=0.080$) was predicted to be a very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) γ-ray source, due to its high X-ray and radio fluxes. Our aim is to understand the radiative processes by investigating the observed emission and its production mechanism using the High Energy...
