We report the high-purity identification of cosmic-ray (CR) protons and a precise measurement of their energy spectrum from 0.15 to 12 PeV using the Large High Altitude Air Shower…
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
