چکیده

The H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane Survey (HGPS) revealed 78 TeV sources among which 47 are not clearly associated with a known object. We present multiwavelength approach to constrain the origin of emission from unidentified HGPS sources. generic pipeline that explores large database archival data toward any region in plane. Along visual inspection retrieved observations search for faint and uncataloged counterparts, we derive radio spectral index helps disentangle thermal nonthermal mean magnetic field through X-ray case leptonic scenario. also connection between GeV regimes Fermi-LAT cataloged may be source. complete association procedure catalogs objects source instruments whose retrieved. method is applied on two sources, namely HESS J1427$-$608 J1458$-$608, constraints favor pulsar wind nebula (PWN) model their broadband spectra scenario $B \lesssim 10$ $\mu$G, consistent obtained ancient PWNe. place both within context PWN population estimate spin-down power characteristic age putative pulsar. shed light possibly significant $\gamma$-ray excesses HGPS: first located south J1632$-$478 second spatially coincident synchrotron-emitting supernova remnant G28.6$-$0.1. counterparts found make these promising candidates being new very-high energy

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 ...

A 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...

Evidence for long-term Gamma-ray and X-ray variability from the unidentified TeV source HESS J0632+057

HESS J0632+057 is one of only two unidentified very-high-energy gamma-ray sources which appear to be point-like within experimental resolution. It is possibly associated with the massive Be star MWC 148 and has been suggested to resemble known TeV binary systems like LS I +61 303 or LS 5039. HESS J0632+057 was observed by VERITAS for 31 hours in 2006, 2008 and 2009. During these observations, n...

4 Possible TeV Source Candidates In The Unidentified EGRET Sources

We study the γ-ray emission from the pulsar magnetosphere based on outer gap models, and the TeV radiation from pulsar wind nebulae through inverse Compton scattering using a one-zone model. We showed previously that GeV radiation from the magnetosphere of mature pulsars with ages of ∼ 10 5 − 10 6 years old can contribute to the high latitude unidentified EGRET sources. We carry out Monte Carlo...
