MAGIC observations provide compelling evidence of the hadronic multi-TeV emission from the putative PeVatron SNR G106 3+2 7 by MAGIC Collaboration et al. on Wednesday 30 November The SNR G106.3+2.7, detected at 1--100 TeV energies by different $gamma$-ray facilities, is one of the most promising PeVatron candidates. This SNR has a cometary shape which can be divided into a head and a tail region with different physical conditions. However, it is not identified in which region the 100 TeV emission is produced due to the limited position accuracy and/or angular resolution of existing observational data. Additionally, it remains unclear whether the origin of the $gamma$-ray emission is leptonic or hadronic. With the better angular resolution provided by these new MAGIC data compared to earlier $gamma$-ray datasets, we aim to reveal the acceleration site of PeV particles and the emission mechanism by resolving the SNR G106.3+2.7 with 0.1$^circ$ resolution at TeV energies. We detected extended $gamma$-ray emission spatially coincident with the radio continuum emission at the head and tail of SNR G106.3+2.7. The fact that we detected a significant $gamma$-ray emission with energies above 6.0 TeV from the tail region only suggests that the emissions above 10 TeV, detected with air shower experiments (Milagro, HAWC, Tibet AS$gamma$ and LHAASO), are emitted only from the SNR tail. Under this assumption, the multi-wavelength spectrum of the head region can be explained with either hadronic or leptonic models, while the leptonic model for the tail region is in contradiction with the emission above 10 TeV and X-rays. In contrast, the hadronic model could reproduce the observed spectrum at the tail by assuming a proton spectrum with a cutoff energy of $sim 1$ PeV for the tail region. Such a high energy emission in this middle-aged SNR (4--10 kyr) can be explained by considering the scenario that protons escaping from the SNR in the past interact with surrounding dense gases at present. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.15321v1

The JCMT BISTRO Survey: Multi-wavelength polarimetry of bright regions in NGC 2071 in the far-infrared submillimetre range, with POL-2 and HAWC+ by L. Fanciullo et al. on Tuesday 20 September Polarized dust emission is a key tracer in the study of interstellar medium and of star formation. The observed polarization, however, is a product of magnetic field structure, dust grain properties and grain alignment efficiency, as well as their variations in the line of sight, making it difficult to interpret polarization unambiguously. The comparison of polarimetry at multiple wavelengths is a possible way of mitigating this problem. We use data from HAWC+/SOFIA and from SCUBA-2/POL-2 (from the BISTRO survey) to analyse the NGC 2071 molecular cloud at 154, 214 and 850 $mu$m. The polarization angle changes significantly with wavelength over part of NGC 2071, suggesting a change in magnetic field morphology on the line of sight as each wavelength best traces different dust populations. Other possible explanations are the existence of more than one polarization mechanism in the cloud or scattering from very large grains. The observed change of polarization fraction with wavelength, and the 214-to-154 $mu$m polarization ratio in particular, are difficult to reproduce with current dust models under the assumption of uniform alignment efficiency. We also show that the standard procedure of using monochromatic intensity as a proxy for column density may produce spurious results at HAWC+ wavelengths. Using both long-wavelength (POL-2, 850 $mu$m) and short-wavelength (HAWC+, $lesssim 200, mu$m) polarimetry is key in obtaining these results. This study clearly shows the importance of multi-wavelength polarimetry at submillimeter bands to understand the dust properties of molecular clouds and the relationship between magnetic field and star formation. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09604v1
The all-particle energy spectrum of cosmic rays from 10 TeV to 1 PeV measured with HAWC by J. A. Morales-Soto et al. on Monday 19 September The HAWC observatory is an air-shower detector, which is designed to study both astrophysical gamma-rays in the TeV region and galactic cosmic rays in the energy interval from 1 TeV to 1 PeV. This energy regime is quite interesting for cosmic ray research, since indirect observations overlap with direct measurements, which offers the opportunity for cross calibration and studies of experimental systematic errors in both techniques. One quantity that could help for this purpose is the all-particle energy spectrum of cosmic rays. In this work, we present an update of HAWC measurements on the total cosmic-ray energy spectrum between 10 TeV and 1 PeV. The spectrum was obtained from an unfolding analysis of almost two years of HAWC's data, which was collected from January, 2018 to December, 2019. For the energy estimation, we employed the high-energy hadronic interaction model QGSJET-II-04. As in a previous work of HAWC, published in 2017, we observed the presence of a knee-like feature in the region of tens of TeV. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.14245v2
Limits on the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background above 10 TeV with HAWC by HAWC Collaboration et al. on Monday 19 September The high-energy Diffuse Gamma-Ray Background (DGRB) is expected to be produced by unresolved isotropically distributed astrophysical objects, potentially including dark matter annihilation or decay emissions in galactic or extragalactic structures. The DGRB has only been observed below 1 TeV; above this energy, upper limits have been reported. Observations or stringent limits on the DGRB above this energy could have significant multi-messenger implications, such as constraining the origin of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos detected by IceCube. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, located in central Mexico at 4100 m above sea level, is sensitive to gamma rays from a few hundred GeV to several hundred TeV and continuously observes a wide field-of-view (2 sr). With its high-energy reach and large area coverage, HAWC is well-suited to notably improve searches for the DGRB at TeV energies. In this work, strict cuts have been applied to the HAWC dataset to better isolate gamma-ray air showers from background hadronic showers. The sensitivity to the DGRB was then verified using 535 days of Crab data and Monte Carlo simulations, leading to new limits above 10 TeV on the DGRB as well as prospective implications for multi-messenger studies. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08106v1
Current and future gamma-ray searches for dark-matter annihilation beyond the unitarity limit by Donggeun Tak et al. on Tuesday 13 September For decades, searches for electroweak-scale dark matter (DM) have been performed without a definitive detection. This lack of success may hint that DM searches have focused on the wrong mass range. A proposed candidate beyond the canonical parameter space is ultra-heavy DM (UHDM). In this work, we consider indirect UHDM annihilation searches for masses between 30 TeV and 30 PeV, extending well beyond the unitarity limit at $sim$100 TeV, and discuss the basic requirements for DM models in this regime. We explore the feasibility of detecting the annihilation signature, and the expected reach for UHDM with current and future Very-High-Energy (VHE; $>$ 100 GeV) $gamma$-ray observatories. Specifically, we focus on three reference instruments: two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope arrays, modeled on VERITAS and CTA-North, and one Extended Air Shower array, motivated by HAWC. With reasonable assumptions on the instrument response functions and background rate, we find a set of UHDM parameters (mass and cross section) for which a $gamma$-ray signature can be detected by the aforementioned observatories. We further compute the expected upper limits for each experiment. With realistic exposure times, the three instruments can probe DM across a wide mass range. At the lower end, it can still have a point-like cross section, while at higher masses the DM could have a geometric cross section, indicative of compositeness. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.11740v2
Validation of standardized data formats and tools for ground-level particle-based gamma-ray observatories by A. Albert et al. on Monday 12 September Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is still a rather young field of research, with strong historical connections to particle physics. This is why most observations are conducted by experiments with proprietary data and analysis software, as it is usual in the particle physics field. However in recent years, this paradigm has been slowly shifting towards the development and use of open-source data formats and tools, driven by upcoming observatories such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). In this context, a community-driven, shared data format (the gamma-astro-data-format or GADF) and analysis tools such as Gammapy and ctools have been developed. So far these efforts have been led by the IACT community, leaving out other types of ground-based gamma-ray instruments.We aim to show that the data from ground particle arrays, such as the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, is also compatible with the GADF and can thus be fully analysed using the related tools, in this case Gammapy. We reproduce several published HAWC results using Gammapy and data products compliant with GADF standard. We also illustrate the capabilities of the shared format and tools by producing a joint fit of the Crab spectrum including data from six different gamma-ray experiments. We find excellent agreement with the reference results, a powerful check of both the published results and the tools involved. The data from particle detector arrays such as the HAWC observatory can be adapted to the GADF and thus analysed with Gammapy. A common data format and shared analysis tools allow multi-instrument joint analysis and effective data sharing. Given the complementary nature of pointing and wide-field instruments, this synergy will be distinctly beneficial for the joint scientific exploitation of future observatories such as the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray Observatory and CTA. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2203.05937v3
Entre las armas más avanzadas de los arsenales de las superpotencias se encuentran los misiles hipersónicos. Pueden viajar a más de cinco veces la velocidad del sonido (Mach 5), alcanzar objetivos a miles de kilómetros de distancia volar a baja altura y cambiar de dirección para eludir los sistemas de defensa. Como explica José Manuel Sanjurjo, vicealmirante retirado y miembro de la Real Academia de Ingeniería, no solo la maniobrabilidad es un desafío para el desarrollo de estas armas. A velocidades superiores a 6.000 km/h la fricción con la atmósfera genera temperaturas muy elevadas en la superficie de los miles, superior a los 2.000º C. Se necesitan materiales resistentes, soluciones para disipar el calor y métodos que garanticen el funcionamiento de la electrónica a bordo y las comunicaciones (GPS, etc). Estas armas pueden ser de dos tipos: planeadores y misiles cruceros hipersónicos, cada uno con sus características. En agosto de 2021, China probó uno que se quedó cerca de completar una vuelta completa a la Tierra. Rusia cuenta con los modelos Kinzhal, Zirkon y Avangard. Y EEUU ha presentado su misil HAWC. Estos misiles --explica Sanjurjo-- pueden cargar cabezas convencionales o nucleares. Según el caso, la precisión será más o menos importante. Escuchar audio

Two weeks ago, an elite team completed the first successful free-flight test of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) missile. Raytheon Missiles & Defense worked with Northrop Grumman to build the prototype for DARPA.For the test, the HAWC was released from underneath the wing of an aircraft. Seconds after it deployed, the missile's solid rocket motor boosted it to supersonic speeds. The HAWC's scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) engine ignited and accelerated the missile to hypersonic speeds above Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound).
Last month, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) took a hypersonic missile prototype built by Raytheon Missiles & Defense and Northrop Grumman and completed a successful free-flight test.This test involved a Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) missile. The HAWC's engine got it to as fast as five times the speed of sound, about 3,853 miles per hour. It was a monumental moment for hypersonics, which are expected to be the new frontier for advanced weaponry. But now, Reuters reports the Pentagon is saying hypersonics are too expensive. It requests defense contractors cut the ultimate cost of such weapons as a unit can cost tens of millions.

TW: Discussions of physical, emotional, and sexual assault. On this week’s special Riveting Broads’ episode, Molly talks to Jacqui about her experience with domestic abuse. Through recounting her relationship, the broads discuss the blurred lines of toxic vs. abusive behavior, mixed with the confusion, manipulation, policing, intimidation and the loss of oneself. Further, they discuss how to validate one’s experience and how to move on from trauma. Or alternatively, how to support someone going through it. NOTE: If you or a loved one are in an abusive situation, you are not alone. We are here and there are resources for you. If you are local to the North Shore, please consider using HAWC as a resource. HAWC provides free services to abuse victims. To understand if what you’re experiencing is abuse, or to start making a safety plan, call their hotline at 1-800-547-1649.

It's an unlikely triad, but two fitness enthusiasts-turned-crypto philanthropists believe that, taken in combination, the three can drive positive change. Taking a cross-country cycling trip around the U.S., Tour de Crypto riders Jason Berlin and Jovel Velasquez want to raise $1 million in cryptocurrencies and USD for the Houston Area Women's Center ( HAWC ), a non-profit organization with the mandate to "[end] domestic and sexual violence for all." Through its advocacy, counselling, education, shelters and support services, HAWC works to help survivors build safe and healthy lives. If Berlin and Velasquez meet their goal, the money will be enough to fund half a year of services to HAWC's 120-bed secure shelter. To ensure transparency, donors can verify that the wallet addresses listed on Tour de Crypto's website and HAWC's own are the same, and "100% of the donations will go directly to HAWC via wallets maintained and controlled by HAWC," Tour de Crypto's donation page states. The tour will kick off on Friday, September 14, 2018, in the Hamptons, New York, ending on Friday, November 9, 2018, in Huntington Beach, California, and the entire trip will also be recorded with videographers and an audio crew along the way. Along the route , Berlin and Velasquez will be stopping in Houston to visit the headquarters of HAWC. At the time of publication, the project is accepting donations in bitcoin, ether, litecoin, monero, digibyte, reddcoin, electra, paccoin and phore. The Electra community was the first to sign up, according to Blake Rizzo, head of charity affairs for Tour de Crypto. At last count, he said that over 7 million electra (~$4,340) had been donated to HAWC. Speaking to Bitcoin Magazine , Rizzo explained that he was approached by Berlin with the idea of the tour. Rizzo said that Berlin came up with the concept, a play on the Tour de France, as a way to do something that raises awareness for cryptocurrency donations to charity. "He also had a personal goal to ride a bike across the United States, so he decided to combine the two," Rizzo added. With a background in law as a commercial litigation attorney, Berlin originally approached Rizzo to draft documents for the tour. However, the more Rizzo got involved, the more opportunity he saw, so he took on a more active role to help increase awareness of the riders' mission and how they hope to accomplish it. When Berlin began speaking to Rizzo about potential charities, Rizzo immediately suggested HAWC, which has a four-star rating on Charity Navigator . It wasn't long before Berlin decided to make the sexual assault survivor center the main focus on the first tour, which is expected to be the first of many. "The goal is to do this every year and not only have a charity that is the main focus, but also ask other communities and coins to get involved and do one of two things," said Rizzo. "They can have me set up HAWC with their particular wallet so their community can donate or [they can] go out and get another charitable organization accept their coin, so we can add them to the list and promote different charities along the way." In a way, the first tour will be a trial run to see how crypto communities can come together to benefit charitable organizations. Beyond raising money for HAWC, the tour will be a challenge for its two riders. According to Rizzo, Berlin and Velasquez are not your typical Lycra-clad cyclists, but that's not to say they haven't put the work in prior to the start of the trip. During the interview, Rizzo told me that the pair had just completed a 130-mile training trip, and the two are riding each day to condition themselves and prep their legs for the roughly 4,000 mile journey. When they're not riding, Berlin is talking to various exchanges and coin operators who are interested in getting involved on the tour, either as sponsors or participating coins. So far, Ronnie Moas, founder of Standpoint Research and World Crypto Con , is a leading sponsor. World Crypto Con's website states that it will donate 5 percent of all ticket sales to HAWC. Moas was quick to join the effort. When raising awareness for Tour de Crypto, Rizzo came across a tweet from Moas regarding World Crypto Con, so he reached out to talk to him about the tour's charitable mission. "Within minutes he responded," added Rizzo. "He had checked out our Twitter page and our mission and basically said 'I'm in, call me or send me your number,' and just like that I was on the phone with him for an hour and a half going through everything. He agreed right there to be our lead sponsor."
Los rayos cósmicos son partículas de alta energía que llegan a la Tierra procedentes de fuentes galácticas lejanas. En su mayoría están formados por protones o núcleos atómicos, pero junto a ellos llegan también, en menor proporción, electrones y positrones. Hace más de 10 años, gracias a observaciones con satélites espaciales, se observó que llagaban a la Tierra más positrones de lo que las teorías predicen, especialmente de aquellos que tienen mayor energía. Desde entonces se han propuesto distintas hipótesis que justifican el resultado, una de ellas propone que la fuente debe estar en ciertos púlsares y otras señalan a la materia oscura o procesos desconocidos. Una investigación, en la que participa Rubén López Coto, ha utilizado el High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), situado en México, para estudiar dos púlsares conocidos y propone que el origen de los positrones podría ser más exótico de lo que se pensaba.
Grâce à une mesure inédite de la région d'émission gamma entourant deux pulsars proches avec le détecteur HAWC, une grande collaboration internationale arrive à déterminer que les positrons détectés en excès sur Terre ne viennent pas de ces pulsars mais auraient une toute autre origine...
In this week’s show our guest is Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC). Ms. Manzano is the Sexual Assault Services Coordinator at HAWC. During this episode we discuss current affairs, such as the accusations against Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump, the definitions of rape and sexual assault, and how the media can serve as a resource for survivors. We also explore how it is often challenging for those who have experienced sexual violence to share their story and how victim-blaming shifts responsibility away from the perpetrators. Anyone seeking additional information on this issue can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE (4673).
In our own galaxy and beyond, violent collisions fling a never-ending stream of stuff at the earth, and astrophysicists are eager to learn more about the processes that produce this cosmic barrage.
In our own galaxy and beyond, violent collisions fling a never-ending stream of stuff at the earth, and astrophysicists are eager to learn more about the processes that produce this cosmic barrage.Researchers from around the world have teamed up to build the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gammy-ray observatory, an array of hundreds of huge water tanks on a mountain in Mexico. HAWC helps astrophysicists spot active cosmic neighborhoods by capturing the shower of particles created when high-energy packets of light smash into the earth’s atmosphere.Jordan Goodman, HAWC’s lead investigator, and Dan Fiorino, a postdoctoral researcher at UMD, tell Chris Cesare about the details of the HAWC experiment and how it promises to fill some gaps in our understanding of the universe. To learn more about HAWC, please visit www.hawc-observatory.org. The collaboration is preparing to publish the first results of its search, and you can read about the details in an upcoming source catalog or a paper about high-energy gamma rays from the Crab Nebula.This episode of Relatively Certain was produced by Chris Cesare, Sean Kelley and Emily Edwards and edited by Chris Cesare and Kate Delossantos, featuring music by Dave Depper, Podington Bear, Kevin MacLeod and Chris Zabriskie. Relatively Certain is a production of the Joint Quantum Institute and the University of Maryland, and you can find it on iTunes, Google Play or Soundcloud.
L'observatoire gamma High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) a débuté ses opérations à l'été 2013 (voir ici). Cet observatoire qui a pour objectif d'étudier l'origine des rayons cosmiques et des rayons gamma ultra énergétiques vient de rendre publique la semaine dernière sa première carte du ciel gamma couvrant 2/3 du ciel. On y découvre de nouvelles sources d'émission gamma ainsi que des zones déjà connues mais avec plus de détails.
This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Twitter's new “buy” button; we have an interview with Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women's Center about Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we reminisce on ghost stories in celebration of Halloween. In the In Case You Missed it Segment (ICYMI) we talk about changes in LinkedIn, with LinkedIn Groups becoming private. And … did you hear the story about the drunk driver who was Periscoping herself and gots arrested? Her viewers called the police on her. You can find the complete story on CNN, after you listen to the show. Twitter has rolled out their “Buy” button, making it possible to purchase from select ecommerce providers without ever leaving Twitter. What does this mean for us as conspicuous consumers, and for business owners? You can read more about this new feature in the Twitter announcement, or find out how to implement this for your business. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. To talk about this we invited Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women's Center (HAWC) to join us on the show. She provides us with more information about the services and programs HAWC offers. They are located at 1010 Waugh Dr., Houston TX 77019. Their hotline is 713-528-2121.

Episodio 64 – Las partículas que vinieron del espacio, con Hermes León “Radiación cósmica” es un buen nombre para una banda de rock progresivo, pero también es un fenómeno que nos permite conocer mejor el universo. La radiación cósmica ha sido estudiada por más de 100 años, y su historia conecta un globo aerostático en las planicies de Bohemia en Alemania, con un conjunto de tanques de agua ultra-pura en las laderas de la Sierra Negra, en Puebla, México. En este episodio, platicamos con Hermes León Vargas, un joven investigador del Instituto de Física de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, quien nos contó cómo es que esos tanques de agua se usan a manera de observatorio de radiación cósmica (un observatorio llamado HAWC), qué tipo de fenómenos puede estudiar ese observatorio y la importancia de esos estudios para entender mejor nuestro universo. ¡Que lo disfruten! --Créditos-- Invitado: Dr. Hermes León Vargas Secciones: Sofía Flores Guión: Víctor Hernández Marroquín, Sofía Flores Fuentes, Rodrigo Pacheco Muñoz, Emiliano Rodríguez Mega y Alejandra Ortiz Medrano.
