New Companions for the lonely Crab? VHE emission from young pulsar wind nebulae revealed by H.E.S.S

Abstract

The deeper and more extended survey of the central parts of the Galactic Plane by H.E.S.S. during 2005-2007 has revealed a number of new point-like, as well as, extended sources. Two point-like sources can be associated to two remarkable objects around "Crab-like" young and energetic pulsars in our Galaxy: G21.5-0.9 and Kes 75. The characteristics of each of the sources are presented and possible interpretations are briefly discussed.
