英文摘要	We report the detection of a GeV gamma-ray source that. spatially overlaps. and is. thus very likely associated with the unidentified very. high. energy (VHE) gamma-ray source HESS J1427-608 with the Pass 8 data recorded by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The photon spectrum of this source is best described by a power law with an index of 1.85 +/- 0.17 in the energy range of 3-500 GeV, and the measured flux connects smoothly with that of HESS J1427 -608 at a few hundred gigaelectronvolts. This source shows no significant extension and time variation. The broadband GeV to TeV emission over four decades of energies can be well fitted by a single power-law function with an index of 2.0, without obvious indication of spectral cutoff toward high energies. Such a result implies that HESS J1427-608 may be a PeV particle accelerator. We discuss the possible nature of HESS J1427-608 according to the multiwavelength spectral fittings. Given the relatively large errors, either a leptonic or a hadronic model can explain the multiwavelength data from radio to VHE gamma-rays. The inferred magnetic field strength is a few micro-Gauss, which is smaller than the. typical values of supernova remnants (SNRs). and is consistent with some pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). On the other hand, the flat gamma-ray spectrum is slightly different from typical PWNe but is. similar to that of some known SNRs.
