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 appr…

LHAASO Detection of Ultra-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission toward the Giant Molecular Clouds

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +310

The -ray from Giant molecular clouds (GMCs) is regarded as the most ideal tool to perform in-situ measurement of cosmic ray (CR) density and spectra in our Galaxy. We report the…

Energy calibration of LHAASO-KM2A using the cosmic ray Moon shadow

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +323

We present a precise measurement of the westward, rigidity-dependent shift of the Moon's shadow using three and a half years of cosmic-ray data collected by the Kilometer Square Ar…

Evidence for particle acceleration approaching PeV energies in the W51 complex

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +284

The -ray emission from the W51 complex is widely acknowledged to be attributed to the interaction between the cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated by the shock of supernova remnant (SN…

Exploring Lorentz Invariance Violation from Ultra-high-energy Gamma Rays Observed by LHAASO

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +268

Recently the LHAASO Collaboration published the detection of 12 ultra-high-energy gamma-ray sources above 100 TeV, with the highest energy photon reaching 1.4 PeV. The first detect…
