Cygnus X-3: A variable petaelectronvolt gamma-ray source
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +324
We report the discovery of variable -rays up to petaelectronvolt from Cygnus X-3, an iconic X-ray binary. The -ray signal was detected with a statistical significance of ap…
Investigating Pulsar Wind Nebula DA 495: Insights from LHAASO and Multi-Wavelength Observations
The LHAASO Collaboration
Pulsar wind nebula DA~495 (G65.7+1.2) has been extensively observed from radio to TeV -ray bands. We present LHAASO observations of DA~495, revealing an energy-dependent morpho…
Measurement of attenuation length of the muon content in extensive air showers from 0.3 to 30 PeV with LHAASO
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +323
The attenuation length of the muon content in extensive air showers provides important information regarding the generation and development of air showers. This information can be…
Evidence for particle acceleration approaching PeV energies in the W51 complex
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +284
The -ray emission from the W51 complex is widely acknowledged to be attributed to the interaction between the cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated by the shock of supernova remnant (S…
Precise measurements of the cosmic ray proton energy spectrum in the "knee'' region
The LHAASO Collaboration, Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian +310
We report the high-purity identification of cosmic-ray (CR) protons and a precise measurement of their energy spectrum from 0.15 to 12 PeV using the Large High Altitude Air Shower…
