Abstract: Context. HESS J1813−178 is a very-high-energy γ-ray source spatially coincident with the young and energetic pulsar PSR J1813−1749and thought to be associated with its pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Recently, evidence for extended high-energy emission in the vicinityof the pulsar has been revealed in the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data. This motivates revisiting the HESS J1813−178 region,taking advantage of improved analysis methods and an extended dataset.Aims. Using data taken by the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.) experiment and the Fermi-LAT, we aim to describe theγ-ray emission in the region with a consistent model, to provide insights into its origin.Methods. We performed a likelihood-based analysis on 32 hours of H.E.S.S. data and 12 yr of Fermi-LAT data and we fitted a spectromorphological model to the combined datasets. These results allowed us to develop a physical model for the origin of the observedγ-ray emission in the region.Results. In addition to the compact very-high-energy γ-ray emission centred on the pulsar, we find a significant yet previously undetected component along the Galactic plane. With Fermi-LAT data, we confirm extended high-energy emission consistent with theposition and elongation of the extended emission observed with H.E.S.S. These results establish a consistent description of the emission in the region from GeV energies to several tens of TeV.Conclusions. This study suggests that HESS J1813−178 is associated with a γ-ray PWN powered by PSR J1813−1749. A possibleorigin of the extended emission component is inverse Compton emission from electrons and positrons that have escaped the confinesof the pulsar and form a halo around the PWN.
