Multi-resolution analysis of the H.E.S.S. Galactic Survey Sources and Search for Counterparts in CO and HI data

Abstract

From May to July 2004, the central radian of the Galactic Plane was scanned by the H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) telescopes at energies above 200 GeV. This survey was performed from -$3^o$ to +$3^o$ in latitude, for a total of 230 hours, revealing eight new VHE sources at a significance level greater than 6$\sigma$(standard deviations). We present a multi-resolution analysis of these sources based on a continuous wavelet transformation (CWT). Using CO and HI data, we investigate the possible associations of the potential counterparts proposed in [1], with sites of enhanced interstellar matter density.
