Results of the two-dimensional log-likelihood fit of morphological models to the H.E.S.S. data.

Model	α_center,J2000	δ_center,J2000	r_in [pc]	r_out [pc]	Log(likelihood)
Sphere	14^h42^m58^s ± 0^h0^m9^s	− 62°25′48′′± 0°1′1′′	–	15.9 ± 0.6	− 4093.35
Shell	14^h42^m53^s ± 0^h0^m7^s	− 62°25′48′′± 0°1′48′′	9.5 ± 1.4	14.8 ± 1.0	− 4046.82

Notes. (α_center,J2000, δ_center,J2000) gives the center of the sphere and shell models. The parameters r_in and r_out stand for the innerand outer radius of the sphere. In the case of the sphere, r_in is kept at zero pc.
