Chandra Observation of the Unidentified TeV Gamma-Ray Source HESS J1303−631 in the Galactic Plane
The imaging atmospheric Cherenkov array H.E.S.S. recently discovered an extended source in the 0.4−10 TeV energy range, HESS J1303−631. We obtained a 5 ks observation with the ACIS-I array on the Chandra X-ray observatory that does not reveal an obvious compact or diffuse X-ray counterpart. Archival ROSAT images are also blank in this region. Although there are several radio pulsars within the ...
متن کاملA Radio Counterpart for the Unidentified Tev Source Hess J1813-178: the Radio-gamma-ray Connection
We discovered independently the shell-type supernova remnant G12.82−0.02, recently reported by Brogan et al. (2005), which is coincident with the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source revealed in the HESS survey of the Galactic plane. Estimating the ambient starlight at the location of this source from the integrated Lyα luminosity of the nearby H II region W33, we conclude that inverse Compton emi...
متن کاملA Search for Tev Emission from Unidentified Sources in the Galactic Plane
The ∼70 unidentified sources of the EGRET sky survey may be one of its most important legacies. The identification of these sources at other wavelengths is critical to understanding their nature. Many have flat spectra out to 10 GeV which, if extrapolated to TeV energies, would be easily detectable relative to the steeply falling diffuse background. The Whipple Observatory γ-ray telescope has b...
متن کاملYoung Energetic Psr J1617–5055, Its Underluminous Nebula and Unidentified Tev Source Hess J1616–508
We observed the young energetic pulsar J1617−5055 with the Chandra ACIS detector for 60 ks. In addition to the pulsar, the X-ray images show a faint pulsar-wind nebula (PWN) seen up to ∼ 1′ from the pulsar. Deconvolution and reconstruction of the image reveal a brighter compact PWN component of ∼ 1′′ size, possibly with a jet-torus morphology. The PWN spectrum fits an absorbed power-law (PL) mo...
متن کاملStochastic Acceleration in the Galactic Center HESS Source
Stochastic acceleration of charged particles interacting resonantly with a turbulent magnetic field in a small accretion torus appears to be the likely mechanism responsible for much of Sagittarius A*’s mm and shorter wavelength spectrum. The longer wavelength radiation is produced at larger radii by electrons either diffusing from smaller scales or accelerated in situ. An important prediction ...
