HAWC Search for High-Mass Microquasars
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +87
Microquasars with high-mass companion stars are promising very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emitters, but their behaviors above 10 TeV are poorly known. Using the High…
Probing the Sea of Cosmic Rays by Measuring Gamma-Ray Emission from Passive Giant Molecular Clouds with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +87
The study of high-energy gamma rays from passive Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) in our Galaxy is an indirect way to characterize and probe the paradigm of the "sea" of cosmic rays i…
Evidence that Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Rays are a Universal Feature Near Powerful Pulsars
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +97
The highest-energy known gamma-ray sources are all located within 0.5 degrees of extremely powerful pulsars. This raises the question of whether ultra-high-energy (UHE; 56 TeV)…

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 Lorentz invariance violation from HAWC observations of gamma rays above 100 TeV
HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +90
Due to the high energies and long distances to the sources, astrophysical observations provide a unique opportunity to test possible signatures of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV…

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…
Searching for Dark Matter in the Galactic Halo with a Wide Field of View TeV Gamma-ray Observatory in the Southern Hemisphere
Aion Viana, Harm Schoorlemmer, Andrea Albert +3
Despite mounting evidence that dark matter (DM) exists in the Universe, its fundamental nature remains unknown. We present sensitivity estimates to detect DM particles with a futur…
Pulsars in a Bubble? Following Electron Diffusion in the Galaxy with TeV Gamma Rays
H. Fleischhack, A. Albert, C. Alvarez +32
TeV Halos, extended regions of TeV gamma-ray emission around middle-aged pulsars, have recently been established as a new source class in gamma-ray astronomy. These halos have been…
MAGIC and Fermi-LAT gamma-ray results on unassociated HAWC sources
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +336

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
