Very high energy gamma-ray emission beyond 10 TeV from GRB 221009A
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276
The highest energy gamma-rays from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have important implications for their radiation mechanism. Here we report for the first time the detection of gamma-rays…
Does or did the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A operate as a PeVatron?
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276
For decades, supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered the prime sources of Galactic Cosmic rays (CRs). But whether SNRs can accelerate CR protons to PeV energies and thus dom…
Galactic Gamma-Ray Diffuse Emission at TeV energies with HAWC Data
R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez, J. C. Arteaga-Velazquez +77
The Galactic gamma-ray diffuse emission (GDE) is emitted by cosmic rays (CRs), ultra-relativistic protons and electrons, interacting with gas and electromagnetic radiation fields i…
An Ultrahigh-energy -ray Bubble Powered by a Super PeVatron
The LHAASO Collaboration, Z. Cao, F. Aharonian +277
We report the detection of a -ray bubble spanning at least 100 in ultra high energy (UHE) up to a few PeV in the direction of the star-forming region Cygnus X, implyi…
Model of Cosmic Ray Propagation in the Milky Way at the Knee
G. Giacinti, D. Semikoz
We present a new model of anisotropic cosmic ray propagation in the Milky Way, where cosmic rays are injected at discrete transient sources in the disc and propagated in the Galact…
An optimized search for dark matter in the galactic halo with HAWC
A. Albert, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +63
The Galactic Halo is a key target for indirect dark matter detection. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is a high-energy (~300 GeV to >100 TeV) gamma-ray detecto…
Prospects for ultra-high-energy particle acceleration at relativistic shocks
Zhi-Qiu Huang, Brian Reville, John G. Kirk +1
We study the acceleration of charged particles by ultra-relativistic shocks using test-particle Monte-Carlo simulations. Two field configurations are considered: (i) shocks with un…
The First LHAASO Catalog of Gamma-Ray Sources
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276
We present the first catalog of very-high energy and ultra-high energy gamma-ray sources detected by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). The catalog was compil…
Measurement of ultra-high-energy diffuse gamma-ray emission of the Galactic plane from 10 TeV to 1 PeV with LHAASO-KM2A
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An +276
The diffuse Galactic -ray emission, mainly produced via interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium and/or radiation field, is a very important probe of the dis…
A Contribution of the HAWC Observatory to the TeV era in the High Energy Gamma-Ray Astrophysics: The case of the TeV-Halos
Ramiro Torres-Escobedo, Hao Zhou, Eduardo de la Fuente +130
We present a short overview of the TeV-Halos objects as a discovery and a relevant contribution of the High Altitude Water Čerenkov (HAWC) observatory to TeV astrophysics. We discu…
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in México: The Primary Detector
A. U. Abeysekara, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +140
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is a second-generation continuously operated, wide field-of-view, TeV gamma-ray observatory. The HAWC observatory and its analy…
Extreme ion acceleration at extragalactic jet termination shocks
Benoît Cerutti, Gwenael Giacinti
Extragalactic plasma jets are some of the few astrophysical environments able to confine ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, but whether they are capable of accelerating these particles…
