Absence of TeV halos around millisecond pulsars
A. U. Abeysekara, R. Alfaro, C. Alvarez +82
TeV halos are extended very-high-energy (VHE; 0.1-100 TeV) gamma-ray emission around middle-aged pulsars. So far they have only been found around isolated pulsars, but it has been…

Cosmological and astrophysical observations suggest that 85\% of the total matter of the Universe is made of Dark Matter (DM). However, its nature remains one of the most challengi…
Particle Acceleration in the Cygnus Superbubble
B. Hona
The Cygnus Cocoon is the first gamma-ray superbubble powered by a massive stellar association, the OB2 association. It was postulated that the combined effects of the stellar winds…

Monitoring the radio galaxy M87 with HAWC
T. Capistrán, D. Avila Rojas, M. M. González +2
Studies of radio galaxies at TeV energies are fascinating because their jets are misaligned concerning our sightline. Thus, it provides us with a unique opportunity to study the st…
Use of Machine Learning for gamma/hadron separation with HAWC
T. Capistrán, K. L. Fan, J. T. Linnemann +3
Background showers triggered by hadrons represent over 99.9% of all particles arriving at ground-based gamma-ray observatories. An important stage in the data analysis of these obs…
