TeV analysis of HESS J1804-216 with the HAWC Observatory

ORAL

Abstract

HESS J1804-216 has been seen in multiple wavebands, however, its origin remains uncertain. While at TeV energies this source is classified as unidentified, the Fermi-LAT measures emission associated with pulsar J1803-2137. With HAWC data, gamma-ray emission in this source region is observed with a significance above 9σ. The HAWC Observatory provides sensitivity for energies above 10 TeV which can further help identify the origin of the emission. A multi-source study reveals a point-like excess in HAWC maps near HESS J1804-216. I will present the spectral energy distribution of this source above 1 TeV.
