Scientific paper

In a survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2007, the High Energy Stereoscopic System(H.E.S.S.) discovered many new sources and most of them are still unidentified. We propose to use the Chandra X-ray Observatory to perform follow-up observations on two of the brightest newly discovered sources, HESS J1507-622 and HESS J1741-302, to identify the possible X-ray counterparts. 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 J1741-302. The aim is to obtain morphological and spectral information on the possible counterparts in order to understand the emission mechanisms of these 2 sources: the predicted X-ray flux is sufficient for detailed studies of these objects.
