A Multiwavelength Interpretation of HESS J1857+026 Emission Using the Fermi-LAT, VERITAS, and HAWC Observatories
Jordan Eagle, Yu Chen, Ramiro Torres-Escobedo +2
We present a new study on the MeV-TeV gamma-ray origin of HESS J1857+026 using data collected from the Fermi-LAT, VERITAS, and HAWC observatories. A spatial and spectral study of H…
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…
Improved Heavy Dark Matter Annihilation Search from Dwarf Galaxies with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +103
Understanding dark matter's elusive nature is crucial for the framework of particle physics and expanding the Standard Model. This analysis utilizes the High Altitude Water Cherenk…
Chasing Gamma-Ray Signals from Binary Neutron Star Coalescences with the Cherenkov Telescope Array: Prospects and Observing Strategies
S. Abe, J. Abhir, A. Abhishek +457
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary neutron star (BNS) merger by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (GW170817), together with its electromagnetic counterpart, th…
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…
