Abstract

H.E.S.S. is currently the most sensitive instrument in the very-high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray domain and has revealed many new sources along the Galactic Plane. After the very successful first VHE Galactic survey of 2004/2005, H.E.S.S. continued and extended that survey in 2006/2007, discovering a number of new sources, many of which are unidentified. In this context, we will present the results on a new source which is located near the Galatic Center, extended and very faint (∼1% of the Crab luminosity), almost at the lower end of H.E.S.S. sensitivity: HESS J1741-302.
