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…

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…

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…
