Anomalous horizontal track-like events at the HAWC observatory: candidate neutrino-induced charged leptons from the Pico de Orizaba volcano
Hermes León Vargas, Andrés Sandoval
Two track-like events with exceptionally large charge deposits, pointing back to the region of maximum overburden ( km.w.e.) of the Pico de Orizaba volcano, were reported by t…
The HAWC ultra-high-energy gamma-ray map with more than 5 years of data
Kelly Malone, José Andrés García González, Patrick Harding
In 2020, the HAWC Collaboration presented the first catalog of gamma-ray sources emitting above 56 TeV and 100 TeV. With nine sources detected, this was the highest-energy source c…
Galactic Gamma-Ray Diffuse Emission at TeV energies with HAWC Data
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez +77
The Galactic gamma-ray diffuse emission (GDE) is emitted by cosmic rays (CRs), ultra-relativistic protons and electrons, interacting with gas and electromagnetic radiation fields i…
An updated survey of Active Galaxies with the HAWC gamma-ray observatory
Fernando Ureña-Mena, Alberto Carramiñana, Daniel Rosa-González +2
We present an update of the survey of Active Galaxies with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory. This work adds 567 days of HAWC data to the previously pu…
Study of the long-term Very High Energy emission of the blazars 1ES 1215+3031 and VER J0521+211 with the HAWC gamma-ray observatory
Fernando Ureña-Mena, Alberto Carramiñana, Anna Lia Longinotti +2
Blazars are the most abundant type of extragalactic gamma-ray source, usually presenting high variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. Their Very High Energy (VHE, above 0.…
Particle Acceleration in the Cygnus Superbubble
B. Hona
The Cygnus Cocoon is the first gamma-ray superbubble powered by a massive stellar association, the OB2 association. It was postulated that the combined effects of the stellar winds…
The all-particle cosmic ray energy spectrum measured with HAWC
J. A. Morales-Soto, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez
Thanks to recent technological development, a new generation of cosmic ray experiments have been developed with more sensitivity to study these particles in the primary energy inte…
Monitoring the radio galaxy M87 with HAWC
T. Capistrán, D. Avila Rojas, M. M. González +2
Studies of radio galaxies at TeV energies are fascinating because their jets are misaligned concerning our sightline. Thus, it provides us with a unique opportunity to study the st…
Use of Machine Learning for gamma/hadron separation with HAWC
T. Capistrán, K. L. Fan, J. T. Linnemann +3
Background showers triggered by hadrons represent over 99.9% of all particles arriving at ground-based gamma-ray observatories. An important stage in the data analysis of these obs…
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…
HAWC J2227+610 and its association with G106.3+2.7, a new potential Galactic PeVatron
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +97
We present the detection of VHE gamma-ray emission above 100 TeV from HAWC J2227+610 with the HAWC observatory. Combining our observations with previously published results by VERI…
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…
Combined Dark Matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS
Louise Oakes, Celine Armand, Eric Charles +13
The search for Dark Matter (DM) has great potential to reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. As such, searches for evidence of DM particles are being carried out using a wide r…
The HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory: Observations of Cosmic Rays
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +99
We describe measurements of GeV and TeV cosmic rays with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory, or HAWC. The measurements include the observation of the shadow of…
The HAWC Gamma-Ray Observatory: Sensitivity to Steady and Transient Sources of Gamma Rays
HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro +99
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory is designed to record air showers produced by cosmic rays and gamma rays between 100 GeV and 100 TeV. Because of its…
