There are a number of very high energy sources in the Galaxy that remain unidentified. Multi-wavelength and variability studies, and catalogue searches, are powerful tools to identify the physical counterpart, given the uncertainty in the source location and extension. This work carries out a thorough multi-wavelength study of the unidentified, very high energy source HESS J1858+020 and its environs. Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations at 610 MHz and 1.4 GHz have been done to obtain a deep, low-frequency radio image of the region surrounding HESS J1858+020. Archival radio, infrared, and X-ray data have been analysed as well. This observational information, combined with molecular data, catalogue sources, and a nearby Fermi gamma-ray detection of unidentified origin, are combined to explore possible counterparts to the very high energy source. We provide with a deep radio image of a supernova remnant that might be related to the GeV and TeV emission in the region. We confirm the presence of an H II region next to the supernova remnant and coincident with molecular emission. A potential region of star formation is also identified. We identify several radio and X-ray sources in the surroundings. Some of these sources are known planetary nebulae, whereas others may be non-thermal extended emitters and embedded young stellar objects. Three old, background Galactic pulsars also neighbour HESS J1858+020 along the line of sight. The region surrounding HESS J1858+020 is rich in molecular structures and non-thermal objects that may potentially be linked to this unidentified very high energy source. In particular, a supernova remnant interacting with nearby molecular clouds may be a good candidate, but a star forming region, or a non-thermal radio source of yet unclear nature, may also be behind the gamma-ray source. Further observational studies are needed.

Context: The supernova remnant (SNR) G35.6-0.4 shows a non-thermal radio shell, however, no {gamma}-ray or X-ray counterparts have been found for it thus far. One TeV source, HESS J1858+020, was found near the SNR and this source is spatially associa
ted with some clouds at 3.6 kpc. Aims: To attain a better understanding of the origin of HESS J1858+020, we further investigate the association between SNR cosmic rays (CRs) and the clouds through the Fermi-LAT analysis and hadronic modeling. Methods: We performed the Fermi-LAT analysis to explore the GeV emission in and around the SNR. We explored the SNR physics with previously observed multi-wavelength data. We built a hadronic model using runaway CRs of the SNR to explain the GeV-TeV observation. Results: We found a hard GeV source (SrcX2) that is spatially coincident with both HESS J1858+020 and a molecular cloud complex at 3.6 kpc. In addition, a soft GeV source (SrcX1) was found at the northern edge of the SNR. The GeV spectrum of SrcX2 connects well with the TeV spectrum of HESS J1858+020. The entire {gamma}-ray spectrum ranges from several GeV up to tens of TeV and it follows a power-law with an index of ~2.15. We discuss several pieces of observational evidence to support the middle-aged SNR argument. Using runaway CRs from the SNR, our hadronic model explains the GeV-TeV emission at HESS J1858+020, with a diffusion coefficient that is much lower than the Galactic value.
Radio observations of the region surrounding PSR J1301-6305 at 5.5 GHz and 7.5 GHz were conducted with ATCA on September 5th, 2013. They were dedicated to the search of the radio counterpart of the evolved pulsar wind nebula HESS J1303-631, detected
in X-rays and GeV-TeV gamma-rays. The collected data do not reveal any significant extended emission associated with PSR J1301-6305. In addition, archival 1.384 GHz and 2.368 GHz data do not show any evidence for a radio counterpart of HESS J1303-631. Archival 1.384 GHz observations reveal a detection of an extended structure centred at an angular distance of 190 from the pulsar. This extended structure might be a Supernova remnant (SNR) and a potential birth place of PSR J1301-6305. The implications of the lack of radio counterpart of HESS J1303-631 on the understanding of the nature of the PWN are discussed.
We investigate the nature of the unidentified very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray object, HESS J1832-093, in a multi-wavelength context. Based on X-ray variability and spectral index ($Gamma_Xsim,1.5$), and its broad-band spectrum (which was remarkably
similar to HESS J0632+057, a confirmed gamma-ray binary), HESS J1832-093 has been considered to be a strong gamma-ray binary candidate in previous works. In this work, we provide further evidence for this scenario. We obtained a spectrum of its IR counterpart using Gemini/Flamingo, finding absorption lines that are usually seen in massive stars, in particular O stars. We also obtained a rather steep ATCA spectrum ($alpha=-1.18^{+1.04}_{-0.88}$) which prefers a gamma-ray binary over an AGN scenario. Based on spatial-spectral analysis and variability search, we found that 4FGL J1832.9-0913 is possible to be associated with SNR G22.7-0.2 rather than with HESS J1832-093 only.
Very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray observations of PG 1553+113 were made with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (HESS) in 2005 and 2006. A strong signal, ~10 standard deviations, is detected by HESS during the 2 years of observations (24.8
hours live time). The time-averaged energy spectrum, measured between 225 GeV to ~1.3 TeV, is characterized by a very steep power law (photon index of Gamma = (4.5 +- 0.3 {stat} +- 0.1 {syst}). The integral flux above 300 GeV is ~3.4% of the Crab Nebula flux and shows no evidence for any variations, on any time scale. H+K (1.45-2.45 micron) spectroscopy of PG 1553+113 was performed in March 2006 with SINFONI, an integral field spectrometer of the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile. The redshift of PG 1553+113 is still unknown, as no absorption or emission lines were found.
In a multi-wavelength study of thermal emission and scattered light images we analyse the dust properties and structure of the debris disc around the A1-type main sequence star 49~Cet. As a basis for this study, we present new scattered light images
of the debris disc known to possess both a high amount of dust and gas. The outer region of the disc is revealed in former coronagraphic H-band and our new Y-band images from the Very Large Telescope SPHERE instrument. We use the knowledge of the discs radial extent inferred from ALMA observations and the grain size distribution found by SED fitting to generate semi-dynamical dust models of the disc. We compare the models to scattered light and thermal emission data and find that a disc with a maximum of the surface density at 110~au and shallow edges can describe both thermal emission and scattered light observations. This suggests that grains close to the blow-out limit and large grains stem from the same planetesimal population and are mainly influenced by radiation pressure. The influence of inwards transport processes could not be analysed in this study.
