Searching for Dark Matter Sub-structure with HAWC

A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +75

Simulations of dark matter show a discrepancy between the expected number of Galactic dark matter sub-halos and how many have been optically observed. Some of these unseen satellit…

Very high energy particle acceleration powered by the jets of the microquasar SS 433

HAWC Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert +104

SS 433 is a binary system containing a supergiant star that is overflowing its Roche lobe with matter accreting onto a compact object (either a black hole or neutron star). Two jet…

VERITAS and Fermi-LAT observations of new HAWC sources

VERITAS Collaboration, A. U. Abeysekara, A. Archer +280

The HAWC (High Altitude Water Cherenkov) collaboration recently published their 2HWC catalog, listing 39 very high energy (VHE; >100~GeV) gamma-ray sources based on 507 days of obs…

Constraints on Spin-Dependent Dark Matter Scattering with Long-Lived Mediators from TeV Observations of the Sun with HAWC

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +91

We analyze the Sun as a source for the indirect detection of dark matter through a search for gamma rays from the solar disk. Capture of dark matter by elastic interactions with th…

First HAWC Observations of the Sun Constrain Steady TeV Gamma-Ray Emission

A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +92

Steady gamma-ray emission up to at least 200 GeV has been detected from the solar disk in the Fermi-LAT data, with the brightest, hardest emission occurring during solar minimum. T…

Observation of Anisotropy of TeV Cosmic Rays with Two Years of HAWC

A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +98

After two years of operation, the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has analyzed the TeV cosmic-ray sky over an energy range between and TeV. The HAWC d…
