TeV Analysis and Energy Morphology of Probable PWN HAWC J2031+415
ORAL
Abstract
The Cygnus Cocoon region is a complex region containing an OB star cluster that is prominent in the TeV energy range. Located in this region is HAWC J2031+415, a significant TeV gamma ray source that lays within the Fermi-LAT Cocoon. HAWC 2031+415 is believed to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) whose stellar counterpart is PSR J2032+4127. In this work, several modelling methods are presented to best describe the emission with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory. These models disentangle HAWC J2031+415 from the Cocoon and isolate its emission. I will present several spectral models to describe the emission of the PWN using the newest data set with significantly improved angular resolution from the HAWC observatory. Furthermore, I will present an energy morphology study of HAWC J2031+415 in 4 distinct energy bands.
