Description
Recently, the HESS collaboration has reported the detection of
γ-ray emission above a few hundred GeV from eight new sources
located close to the Galactic plane. The source HESS J1813-178 has
sparked particular interest, as subsequent radio observations imply an
association with supernova remnant G12.82-0.02. Triggered by the
detection in very high energy γ-rays, a positionally coincident
source has also been found in INTEGRAL and ASCA data. In this Letter we
present MAGIC observations of HESS J1813-178, resulting in the detection
of a differential γ-ray flux consistent with a hard-slope power
law, described as
dNγ/(dAdtdE)=(3.3+/-0.5)×10-12(E/TeV)-2.1+/-0.2
cm-2s-1TeV-1. We briefly discuss the
observational technique used and the procedure implemented for the data
analysis, and we put this detection in the perspective of multifrequency
observations.
