Description

In this study we investigate the capability of a Very Large Volume Neutrino Telescope to discover extended Galactic sources. We focus to the brightest HESS gamma rays sources which are considered also as very high energy neutrino emitters. We use the un-binned method taking into account both the spatial and the energy distribution of high energy neutrinos and we investigate parts of the Galactic plane where multiple sources are treated as clusters. Source clusters and isolated sources are combined to estimate the observation period for 5 sigma discovery of neutrino signals from these objects.
