Suzaku observation of the VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1427-608
Abstract
We present the analysis results of Suzaku observation of the unidentified very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray source, HESS J1427-608. In the XIS image, we found an extended source (referred as "Suzaku source"), which is positionally coincident with HESS J1427-608. In order to estimate the flux contribution of point sources within the field, we also analyzed the archival data of XMM-Newton. In the EPIC image, four point sources were detected within 4'.5 from the center of the VHE source. However, the flux and NH are both significantly smaller than those of the Suzaku source. Thus, we consider that the XMM-Newton point sources are not related to the Suzaku source.
