Abstract
The H.E.S.S. Collaboration has firmly detected gamma-ray emission from HESS J1846-029, which is spatially coincident with Kes 75 (G29.7-0.3), one of the youngest composite supernova remnants in the Galaxy. This remnant contains the nebula of PSR J1846-0258, a glitching young pulsar with a particularly high spin-down luminosity, that has manifested magnetar-like bursts in 2006. However, H.E.S.S. was not able to distinguish between shell and nebular emission. This source may also plausibly be associated with the HAWC-detected source 2HWC J1844-032. Recent Chandra observations revealed a relatively rapid expansion of the embedded pulsar wind nebula over the past two decades and an X-ray flux decrease of 10% in 7 years. We apply a multi-zone
spatio-temporal pulsar wind nebula model to the morphological and spectral data over several epochs, and find reasonable fits to the broadband radiation spectrum, X-ray surface brightness
profile, photon spectral index in the X-ray energy range and expansion rate. Such spectral and morphological fitting constrains the model parameters and may aid in clarifying the nature of the gamma-ray emission.
