Abstract (from CDS):


Context. We present a detailed view of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) HESS J1825-137. We aim to constrain the mechanisms dominating the particle transport within the nebula, accounting for its anomalously large size and spectral characteristics.
Aims. The nebula was studied using a deep exposure from over 12 years of H.E.S.S. I operation, together with data from H.E.S.S. II that improve the low-energy sensitivity. Enhanced energy-dependent morphological and spatially resolved spectral analyses probe the very high energy (VHE, E>0.1TeV) γ-ray properties of the nebula.
Methods. The nebula emission is revealed to extend out to 1.5° from the pulsar, ∼1.5 times farther than previously seen, making HESS J1825-137, with an intrinsic diameter of ∼100pc, potentially the largest γ-ray PWN currently known. Characterising the strongly energy-dependent morphology of the nebula enables us to constrain the particle transport mechanisms. A dependence of the nebula extent with energy of R∝Eα with α=-0.29±0.04stat±0.05sys disfavours a pure diffusion scenario for particle transport within the nebula. The total γ-ray flux of the nebula above 1TeV is found to be (1.12±0.03stat±0.25sys)x10–11cm–2s–1, corresponding to ∼64% of the flux of the Crab nebula.
Results. HESS J1825-137 is a PWN with clearly energy-dependent morphology at VHE γ-ray energies. This source is used as a laboratory to investigate particle transport within intermediate-age PWNe. Based on deep observations of this highly spatially extended PWN, we produce a spectral map of the region that provides insights into the spectral variation within the nebula.
