Detection of very-high-energy<i>γ</i>-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR B1706–44 and G 343.1–2.3 with H.E.S.S.

Detection of very-high-energy<i>γ</i>-ray emission from the vicinity of PSR B1706–44 and G 343.1–2.3 with H.E.S.S.

The gamma-ray pulsar PSR B1706-44 and the adjacent supernova remnant (SNR) candidate G343.1-2.3 were observed by H.E.S.S. during a dedicated observation campaign in 2007. As a result of this observation campaign, a new source of very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission, HESS J1708-443, was detected with a statistical …
