Description

The HESS Galactic Plane Survey (HGPS), published in 2018, presented a decade of very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations along the Galactic plane. This study was accompanied by the release of several maps in FITS format, offering a detailed view of the region. The flux upper-limits from these HGPS maps can be compared to the high-energy (HE) spectra of sources catalogued by the Fermi-LAT in the same region. For some sources, extrapolating the Fermi-LAT flux into the VHE range predicts flux values exceeding the upper-limits set by HESS. In this work, we present the results of this comparison and highlight the sources that are of particular interest for future VHE observations.
