DOIAbstract
12 pages, 10 figures, 3 tablesThe previously unidentified very high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) \gamma-ray source HESS J1303-631, discovered in 2004, is re-examined including new data from the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescope array. Archival data from the XMM-Newton X-ray satellite and from the PMN radio survey are also examined. Detailed morphological and spectral studies of VHE \gamma-ray emission as well as of the XMM-Newton X-ray data are performed. Significant energy-dependent morphology of the \gamma-ray source is detected with high-energy emission (E > 10 TeV) positionally coincident with the pulsar PSR J1301-6305 and lower energy emission (E <2 TeV) extending \sim 0.4^{\circ} to the South-East of the pulsar. The spectrum of the VHE source...
