Scientific paper

In a survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2004 with the H.E.S.S. instrument a new class of so far unidentified very high energy gamma-ray sources was discovered. We propose to use XMM-Newton to perform follow-up observation on a set of three of the newly discovered sources, for which searches in existing multi-waveband data have not revealed any counterparts. The sensitivity of XMM-Newton would be required to identify possible X-ray counterparts of the VHE gamma-ray sources, despite the obscuration by gas in the Galactic plane. This would allow to obtain morphological and spectral information of possible counterparts and will help to understand the physical nature of the emission mechanisms in this new class of ''dark'' astrophysical sources
