Investigating a TeV-Halo Candidate around PSR J1928+1746 with HAWC

The HAWC Collaboration, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +94

We present an updated High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) analysis of the crowded Galactic-plane area near PSR J1928+1746, which was previously linked to the extended source 3HWC…

Constraints on axion-like particles from ultra-high-energy observations of M87 with the HAWC observatory

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +95

In this work, we perform an indirect search for axion-like particles (ALPs) through their hypothesized mixing with photons in the presence of magnetic fields. ALPs are a well-motiv…

Constraining the Photon Intensity of Extragalactic Background Light with the HAWC Observatory for the Blazar Mrk 421

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, A. Andrés +79

The blazar Mrk 421 exhibits rapid variability over a wide range of timescales. Spectral differences have been observed during the different emission states of Mrk 421. During the h…

Search for TeV emission from spider millisecond pulsars with HAWC

R. Alfaro, E. Anita-Rangel, M. Araya +90

Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are observed to emit multi-wavelength radiation, from radio to GeV. Spider MSPs, which interact with their low-mass companion in close orbit (orbital per…

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…

Investigating IceCube Neutrino Alerts with the HAWC -Ray Observatory

The HAWC Collaboration, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +95

Neutrino emission from astrophysical sources has long been considered a signature of cosmic-ray acceleration. The IceCube neutrino observatory has observed a diffuse flux of TeV-Pe…

The Fourth HAWC Catalog of Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Sources

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, E. Anita-Rangel +87

We present an updated catalog of TeV gamma-ray sources based on the fifth pass of data from the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory. This release benefits from improve…

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…

Longtime Monitoring of TeV Radio Galaxies with HAWC

R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, E. Anita-Rangel +85

We present the monitoring of the TeV-emitting radio galaxies M87, NGC~1275, 3C~264, and IC~310 with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) over a period of approximat…

On the correlation between X-rays and TeV gamma-rays in HBL Blazars

Mabel Osorio-Archila, María Magdalena González, J. Rodrigo Sacahui

The gamma-ray emission in blazars can be attributed to the leptonic Synchrotron Self-Compton (SSC) model, photo-hadronic interactions, or a combination thereof. While evidence supp…

Observation of the Galactic Center PeVatron Beyond 100 TeV with HAWC

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +99

We report an observation of ultra-high energy (UHE) gamma rays from the Galactic Center region, using seven years of data collected by the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Obse…

Analyzing the gamma-ray activity of neutrino emitter candidates: comparing TXS 0506+056 with other blazars

Antonio Marinelli, J. Rodrigo Sacahui, Ankur Sharma +1

On 22nd of September 2017 the IceCube collaboration sent an alert for an EHE (Extreme High Energy) event, corresponding to the reconstruction of a muonic neutrino (IC-170922A) with…
