Scientific paper

In a survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2007 with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) a lot of new sources have been discovered and most of them are still unidentified. We propose to use XMM-Newton to perform follow-up on the two brightest newly discovered sources, namely HESS J1507-622 and HESS J1843-033, to identify the possible X-ray counterparts of these sources. Both sources have no clear positional counterparts: HESS J1507-622 does not show any counterpart at all, whereas an offset PWN is one of the possible explanations for HESS J1843-033. The aim is to obtain the morphological and spectral information of the possible counterpart in helping to understand the emission mechanism of these 2 sources: the predicted X-ray flux is sufficient for detailed studies of these sources.
