HAWC observations of the acceleration of very-high-energy cosmic rays in the Cygnus Cocoon
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +98
Cosmic rays with energies up to a few PeV are known to be accelerated within the Milky Way. Traditionally, it has been presumed that supernova remnants were the main source of very…
3HWC: The Third HAWC Catalog of Very-High-Energy Gamma-ray Sources
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +104
We present a new catalog of TeV gamma-ray sources using 1523 days of data from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory. The catalog represents the most sensitive surve…
Constraints on the Emission of Gamma Rays from M31 with HAWC
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +82
Cosmic rays, along with stellar radiation and magnetic fields, are known to make up a significant fraction of the energy density of galaxies such as the Milky Way. When cosmic rays…
HAWC Contributions to the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2019)
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +127
List of proceedings from the HAWC Collaboration presented at the 36th International Cosmic Ray Conference, 24 July - 1 August 2019, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Multiple Galactic Sources with Emission Above 56 TeV Detected by HAWC
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert +99
We present the first catalog of gamma-ray sources emitting above 56 and 100 TeV with data from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, a wide field-of-view observator…
All-Sky Measurement of the Anisotropy of Cosmic Rays at 10 TeV and Mapping of the Local Interstellar Magnetic Field
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +400
We present the first full-sky analysis of the cosmic ray arrival direction distribution with data collected by the HAWC and IceCube observatories in the Northern and Southern hemis…
MAGIC and Fermi-LAT gamma-ray results on unassociated HAWC sources
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +336
The HAWC Collaboration released the 2HWC catalog of TeV sources, in which 19 show no association with any known high-energy (HE; E > 10 GeV) or very-high-energy (VHE; E > 300 GeV)…
Searching for Dark Matter Sub-structure with HAWC
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +75
Simulations of dark matter show a discrepancy between the expected number of Galactic dark matter sub-halos and how many have been optically observed. Some of these unseen satellit…
Very high energy particle acceleration powered by the jets of the microquasar SS 433
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert +104
SS 433 is a binary system containing a supergiant star that is overflowing its Roche lobe with matter accreting onto a compact object (either a black hole or neutron star). Two jet…
VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of new HAWC sources
VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +280
The HAWC (High Altitude Water Cherenkov) collaboration recently published their 2HWC catalog, listing 39 very high energy (VHE; >100~GeV) gamma-ray sources based on 507 days of obs…
Constraints on Spin-Dependent Dark Matter Scattering with Long-Lived Mediators from TeV Observations of the Sun with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +91
We analyze the Sun as a source for the indirect detection of dark matter through a search for gamma rays from the solar disk. Capture of dark matter by elastic interactions with th…
First HAWC Observations of the Sun Constrain Steady TeV Gamma-Ray Emission
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +92
Steady gamma-ray emission up to at least 200 GeV has been detected from the solar disk in the Fermi-LAT data, with the brightest, hardest emission occurring during solar minimum. T…
Observation of Anisotropy of TeV Cosmic Rays with Two Years of HAWC
A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +98
After two years of operation, the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has analyzed the TeV cosmic-ray sky over an energy range between and TeV. The HAWC d…
Search for Dark Matter Gamma-ray Emission from the Andromeda Galaxy with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +97
The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is a nearby (780 kpc) galaxy similar to our own Milky Way. Observational evidence suggests that it resides in a large halo of dark matter (DM), mak…
Survey of nearby active galactic nuclei with the HAWC Observatory
Zhixiang Ren, Robert Lauer, John A. J. Matthews +1
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) has a wide field-of-view (FOV, 2sr) and a high duty cycle (95\%), which make it a powerful survey and monitoring ex…
