Scientific paper

During a scan of the Galactic plane performed in 2004 with H.E.S.S. (currently the most sensitive very high energy (VHE, E>10^11 eV) telescope), we have discovered a new class of so far unidentified VHE gamma-ray sources. Some of these H.E.S.S. sources are conspicuously spatially coincident with sources detected by ASCA in the Galactic plane, which are suspected to be previously undetected Supernova remnants. We propose to use Chandra to perform follow-up observations on two H.E.S.S. sources: Chandra's sensitivity and excellent angular resolution should allow us to discover and identify the Supernova shells which are plausible sources of the VHE emission. If these associations do not hold, we should be able to discover and identify the yet unknown counterparts of the VHE sources.
