Spectral study of very high energy gamma rays from SS 433 with HAWC
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez +78
Very-high-energy (0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emission was observed in HAWC data from the lobes of the microquasar SS 433, making them the first set of astrophysical jets that were reso…
Ultra-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Bubble around Microquasar V4641 Sgr
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez +89
Microquasars are laboratories for the study of jets of relativistic particles produced by accretion onto a spinning black hole. Microquasars are near enough to allow detailed imagi…
Testing the Molecular Cloud Paradigm for Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Ray Emission from the Direction of SNR G106.3+2.7
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez +87
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to be capable of accelerating cosmic rays (CRs) to PeV energies. SNR G106.3+2.7 is a prime PeVatron candidate. It is formed by a head region,…
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…
Analysis of the Emission and Morphology of the Pulsar Wind Nebula Candidate HAWC J2031+415
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velázquez +78
The first TeV gamma-ray source with no lower energy counterparts, TeV J2032+4130, was discovered by HEGRA. It appears in the third HAWC catalog as 3HWC J2031+415 and it is a bright…
Performance of the HAWC Observatory and TeV Gamma-Ray Measurements of the Crab Nebula with Improved Extensive Air Shower Reconstruction Algorithms
A . Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +90
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory located on the side of the Sierra Negra volcano in Mexico, has been fully operational since 2015. The HAWC collaborat…
