Search for Ultra-Relativistic Magnetic Monopoles with LHAASO-KM2A

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +335

Ultra-relativistic magnetic monopoles traversing the atmosphere are expected to initiate extensive air showers characterized by a muon deficit and a compact lateral profile. Using…

Transient Large-Scale Anisotropy in TeV Cosmic Rays due to an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +309

Large- or medium-scale cosmic ray anisotropy at TeV energies has not previously been confirmed to vary with time. Transient anisotropy changes have been observed below 150 GeV, esp…

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…

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…

Ultrahigh-Energy Gamma-ray Emission Associated with Black Hole-Jet Systems

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, Felix Aharonian +315

Black holes (BH), one of the most intriguing objects in the universe, can manifest themselves through electromagnetic radiation initiated by the accretion flow. Some stellar-mass B…

Peta-electron volt gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula

The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +269

The Crab pulsar and the surrounding nebula powered by the pulsar's rotational energy through the formation and termination of a relativistic electron-positron wind is a bright sour…

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…
