Evidence that Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Rays are a Universal Feature Near Powerful Pulsars

HAWC Collaboration, A. Albert, R. Alfaro +97

The highest-energy known gamma-ray sources are all located within 0.5 degrees of extremely powerful pulsars. This raises the question of whether ultra-high-energy (UHE; 56 TeV)…
