Energy-Dependent Shifts of Medium-Scale Anisotropies in Very-High-Energy Cosmic Rays Observed by LHAASO-KM2A

The LHAASO collabration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +310

Small deviations from isotropy in the arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays serve as a unique probe of the local magnetic environment. In this Letter, we report observations o…

Cygnus X-3: A variable petaelectronvolt gamma-ray source

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +324

We report the discovery of variable -rays up to petaelectronvolt from Cygnus X-3, an iconic X-ray binary. The -ray signal was detected with a statistical significance of ap…

Precise Measurement of the Cosmic Ray Helium Spectrum above 0.1 PeV

LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +321

We report a measurement of the cosmic ray helium energy spectrum in the energy interval 0.16 -- 13~PeV, derived by subtracting the proton spectrum from the light component~(proton…

An extreme particle accelerator powered by pulsar PSR J1849-0001

The LHAASO Collaboration

Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are bubbles of relativistic particles, powered by the rotational energy loss of the central pulsars. The Crab Nebula, powered by the Milky Way's most ene…

First detection of ultra-high energy emission from gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +320

We report the first detection of gamma-ray emission up to ultra-high-energy (UHE; 100 TeV) emission from the prototypical gamma-ray binary system LS I +61 303 using data from th…

Evidence of cosmic-ray acceleration up to sub-PeV energies in the supernova remnant IC 443

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +309

Supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered as the primary contributors to cosmic rays (CRs) in our Galaxy. However, the maximum energy of particles that can be accelerated by s…
