Abstract
We investigate the nature of the unidentified very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray object, HESS J1832-093, in a multi-wavelength context. Based on X-ray variability and spectral index (), and its broad-band spectrum (which was remarkably similar to HESS J0632+057, a confirmed gamma-ray binary), HESS J1832-093 has been considered to be a strong gamma-ray binary candidate in previous works. In this work, we provide further evidence for this scenario. We obtained a spectrum of its IR counterpart using Gemini/Flamingo, finding absorption lines that are usually seen in massive stars, in particular O stars. We also obtained a rather steep ATCA spectrum () which prefers a gamma-ray binary over an AGN scenario. Based on spatial-spectral analysis and variability search, we found that 4FGL J1832.9-0913 is possible to be associated with SNR G22.7-0.2 rather than with HESS J1832-093 only.
