Description
Recently, the HESS array has reported the detection of γ-ray
emission above a few hundred GeV from eight new sources located close to
the Galactic plane. The source HESS J1834-087 is spatially coincident
with the supernova remnant G23.3-0.3 (W41). Here we present MAGIC
observations of this source, resulting in the detection of a
differential γ-ray flux consistent with a power law, described as
dNγ/(dAdtdE)=(3.7+/-0.6)×10-12(E/TeV)-2.5+/-0.2
cm-2 s-1 TeV-1. We confirm the extended
character of this flux. We briefly discuss the observational technique
used and the procedure implemented for the data analysis, and we put
this detection in the perspective of the molecular environment found in
the region of W41. We present 13CO and 12CO
emission maps showing the existence of a massive molecular cloud in
spatial superposition with the MAGIC detection.
