Description

A new extended gamma-ray source, which was named as ‘SourceA’, in the southwest of Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G306.3−0.9 was detected with a significance of ~13σ at the location of R.A.(J2000) = 199.47 deg ± 0.07 deg and decl.(J2000) = −63.93 deg ± 0.07 deg using about 9 years of Fermi−LAT data. Showing the properties and detectability levels of non-TeV pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), SourceA might be a PWN. In order to investigate this unidentified gamma-ray source in multi-wavelengths, we performed Swift observations of SourceA. In this presentation we will summarize the published gamma-ray results, report on the Swift observations, and show our preliminary results of the gamma-ray variability analysis of SourceA.
