ABSTRACT
We present the discovery of non-thermal radio and X-ray emission positionally coincident with the TeV γ-
ray source HESS J1813–178. We demonstrate that the non-thermal radio emission is due to a young shell-type
supernova remnant (SNR) G12.8–0.0, and constrain its distance to be greater than 4 kpc. The X-ray emission
is primarily non-thermal and is consistent with either an SNR shell or unidentified pulsar/pulsar wind nebula
origin; pulsed emission is not detected in archival ASCA data. A simple synchrotron+inverse Compton model
for the broadband emission assuming that all of the emission arises from the SNR shell implies maximum en-
ergies of (30 ? 450)(B/10μG)?0.5 TeV. Further observations are needed to confirm that the broadband emission
has a common origin and better constrain the X-ray spectrum.
Subject headings: acceleration of particles – supernova remnants – radio:ISM – Xrays:ISM – ISM: individual
(G12.8-0.0, HESS J1813-178)
1. INTRODUCTION
Based on theoretical arguments, it has become widely ac-
cepted that a significant fraction of Galactic cosmic rays with
energies up to the “knee” in the cosmic ray spectrum at
～ 10
15
eV are generated in shell type supernova remnants
(SNRs) (e.g. Blandford Eichler 1987). While the detec-
tion of non-thermal X-rays from the shells of several SNRs
provides evidence that SNR shocks are efficient accelerators
of . 1013 eV electrons (see e.g. Reynolds 1996), direct evi-
dence is still lacking that (1) SNRs can accelerate particles all
the way to 10
15
eV, and (2) SNRs efficiently accelerate pr
