A Multi-messenger Search for Ultra-high-energy Gamma Rays in Coincidence with Neutrinos

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +101

The last five years have shown us that ultra-high-energy (UHE; 100 TeV) gamma-ray sources are ubiquitous, but the nature of these sources remain highly uncertain. UHE gamma rays…

Probing the mass composition of TeV cosmic rays with HAWC

J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez

In this contribution, we have investigated the energy spectra of the elemental mass groups of cosmic rays for the Light (H+He), medium (C+O) and heavy (Ne-Fe) components using the…

Search for Signatures of Dark Matter Annihilation in the Galactic Center with HAWC

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +109

We conduct an indirect dark matter (DM) search in the Galactic Center, focusing on a square region within in Galactic longitude and latutide, using 2,865 days of da…

Combined dark matter search towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS

LAT Collaboration, S. Abdollahi, L. Baldini +586

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are excellent targets for indirect dark matter (DM) searches using gamma-ray telescopes because they are thought to have high DM content and a low…

Absence of TeV halos around millisecond pulsars

A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +82

TeV halos are extended very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emission around middle-aged pulsars. So far they have only been found around isolated pulsars, but it has been…

Extended TeV Halos May Commonly Exist around Middle-Aged Pulsars

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +81

Extended gamma-ray emission around isolated pulsars at TeV energies, also known as TeV halos, have been found around a handful of middle-aged pulsars. The halos are significantly m…
