Description

The HESS Galactic Plane Survey has revealed dozens of large, extended sources. In some regions, especially in the vicinity of Galactic arms tangent points, potential TeV gamma-ray emitters tend to cluster. The TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1843-033 is a large, complex region of emission close to the Scutum arm tangent point. We report detailed analysis of its morphology and identify several independent, discrete sources. We discuss the origin of the TeV gamma-ray emissions in the light of multi-wavelength data, in particular dedicated X-ray observations. We focus on G29.34+0.10, a recently cataloged supernova remnant in spatial coincidence with a large background radio Galaxy
