我们在 H.E.S.S. 的调查数据中展示了在持续系统搜索脉冲星风星云 100 GeV 以上发射过程中发现的两个极高能伽马射线源。望远镜阵列。大气切伦科夫成像望远镜是寻找极高能量状态下脉冲星风星云的扩展发射的理想工具。 H.E.S.S.以其5度的大视场和高灵敏度，为这些物体的搜索提供了新的前景。正在进行系统性搜索，寻找银河平面 -60 度 < l < 30 度、-2 度 < b < 2 度范围内高能脉冲星的极高能量发射。对于最终的候选者，标准 H.E.S.S.应用分析并搜索多波长对应物。我们介绍了两个新的候选伽马射线脉冲星风星云的发现：HESS J1718-385 和 HESS J1809-193。 H.E.S.S.已被证明是适合脉冲星风星云搜索的仪器。
We present the discovery of two very-high-energy gamma-ray sources in an ongoing systematic search for emission above 100 GeV from pulsar wind nebulae in survey data from the H.E.S.S. telescope array. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes are ideal tools for searching for extended emission from pulsar wind nebulae in the very-high-energy regime. H.E.S.S., with its large field of view of 5 degrees and high sensitivity, gives new prospects for the search for these objects. An ongoing systematic search for very-high-energy emission from energetic pulsars over the region of the Galactic plane between -60 degrees < l < 30 degrees, -2 degrees < b < 2 degrees is performed. For the resulting candidates, the standard H.E.S.S. analysis was applied and a search for multi-wavelength counterparts was performed. We present the discovery of two new candidate gamma-ray pulsar wind nebulae, HESS J1718-385 and HESS J1809-193. H.E.S.S. has proven to be a suitable instrument for pulsar wind nebula searches.
