PKS 0625−354 (z= 0.055) was observed with the four High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) telescopes in 2012 during 5.5 h. The source was detected above an energy threshold of 200 GeV at a significance level of 6.1σ. No significant variability is found in these observations. The source is well described with a power-law spectrum with photon index Γ = 2.84 ± 0.50stat± 0.10systand normalization (atE0= 1.0 TeV)N0(E0) = (0.58 ± 0.22stat± 0.12syst) × 10−12TeV−1cm−2s−1. Multiwavelength data collected withFermi-LAT,Swift-XRT,Swift-UVOT,ATOMandWISEare also analysed. Significant variability is observed only in theFermi-LAT γ-ray andSwift-XRT X-ray energy bands. Having a good multiwavelength coverage from radio to very high energy, we performed a broad-band modelling from two types of emission scenarios. The results from a one zone lepto-hadronic and a multizone leptonic models are compared and discussed. On the grounds of energetics, our analysis favours a leptonic multizone model. Models associated to the X-ray variability constraint support previous results, suggesting a BL Lac nature of PKS 0625−354 with, however, a large-scale jet structure typical of a radio galaxy.
