Identification of HESS J1303-631 as a Pulsar Wind Nebula through gamma-ray, X-ray and radio observations

Collaboration, The H. E. S. S., :, Abramowski, A. et al.

Understand

The previously unidentified very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) \gamma-ray source HESS J1303-631, discovered in 2004, is re-examined including new data from the H.E.S.S.

  • Cherenkov telescope array.
  • Archival data from the XMM-Newton X-ray satellite and from the PMN radio survey are also examined.
  • Detailed morphological and spectral studies of VHE \gamma-ray emission as well as of the XMM-Newton X-ray data are performed.
