γ-ray flux maps of the HESS J1702-420 region, computed with the Ring Background Method, above 2 (top left), 5 (top right), 15 (bottom left) and 40 (bottom right) TeV. All maps are correlated with a 0.1°-radius top-hat kernel, and the color code is in unit of γ-ray flux (cm−2 s−1) per smoothing area. The white contours indicate the 3σ and 5σ H.E.S.S. significance levels (Li & Ma 1983). The cyan markers indicate the position (surrounded by uncertainty ellipses) of the Fermi-LAT sources 4FGL J1702.9-4131 and 2FHL J1703.4-4145. The former is associated with the PSR J1702-4128 (in yellow), the latter with the SNR G344.7-0.1 (in gray). The circle around the SNR represents its angular extension (Giacani et al. 2011). The white pentagon and upward-pointing triangle represent unidentified X-ray Suzaku sources. The orange markers show the positions of nearby X-ray binaries. Finally, the center and 1σ extension of HESS J1702-420A (HESS J1702-420B) are indicated in green (blue). In the bottom-left corner of each panel the 68% containment radius of the H.E.S.S. PSF is shown, which – for the chosen analysis configuration – does not have a strong dependency on the energy.
