Scientific paper

HESS has discovered a new TeV source at high significance (~20sigma) in the Galactic plane, at 0.6deg North of PSR B1259-63: HESS J1302-631. This new source is extended (0.2deg) and exhaustive searches in existing broadband data, including the very preliminary results of a 5ks Chandra DDT observation in late Sept 2004, have revealed no obvious counterparts. The large sensitivity of XMM- Newton/EPIC and its energy range up to 15keV are required to identify the X-ray counterpart of this new TeV source despite the obscuration by gas in the Galactic plane. A 30ks observation will allow us to obtain morphological and spectral information in order to identify the physical nature of this new source which may be representative of a new class of high energy gamma-ray sources.
