Since no obvious counterpart has previously been found in longer-wavelength data, the processes that power the VHE emission are not well understood. Combining the latest VHE data with recent XMM-Newton observations and a variety of source catalogs and lower-energy survey data, we attempt to match (from an energetic and positional standpoint) the various parts of the emission of HESS J1745-303 with possible candidates. Though no single counterpart is found to fully explain the VHE emission, we postulate that at least a fraction of the VHE source may be explained by a supernova-remnant/molecular-cloud association and/or a high-spin-down-flux pulsar. %G English %Z HESS %L in2p3-00274380 %U https://hal.in2p3.fr/in2p3-00274380 %~ IN2P3 %~ OBSPM %~ CEA %~ INSU %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ X %~ UNIV-SAVOIE %~ UPMC %~ UGA %~ LPTA %~ LAPP %~ LLR %~ LPNHE %~ APC %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-GRENOBLE1 %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ OSUG %~ LIAMA %~ LUTH %~ X-LLR %~ LAOG %~ X-DEP %~ X-DEP-PHYS %~ DSM-IRFU %~ IRFU-APC %~ PSL %~ UPMC_POLE_2 %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ CEA-DRF %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ OBSPM-PSL %~ USMB-COMUE %~ SU-TI %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UM1-UM2 %~ LPNHE-2
