The composite unidentified source HESS J1843-033
Abstract
In a survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2007 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) many new sources have been discovered and most of them are still unidentified. We propose to use XMM-Newton to perform follow-up observations on one of the brightest newly discovered sources, HESS J1843-033, to identify its possible X-ray counterparts. An offset PWN is one of the possible explanations for HESS J1843-033, but this hypothesis is still under investigation. The aim is to obtain the morphological and spectral information of the possible counterparts in helping to understand the emission mechanism of this source.
