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…
