Scientific paper

A survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2004 with the H.E.S.S. instrument allowed to double the number of known VHE gamma-ray sources. Re-observations and improvements in the analysis sensitivity in 2005 have permitted to discover new unidentified sources. We propose to use XMM-Newton to search for two of these sources for which no obvious counterparts were found at other wavelenghts. The sensitivity of XMM-Newton above a few keV is required to detect possible counterparts despite the obscuration by the gas in the Galactic plane. Morphological and spectral information on the sources would help to understand the nature and the emission mechanisms of these unidentified VHE gamma-ray sources.
