Analyzing orphan TeV excesses in the 3HWC catalog
POSTER
Abstract
There are 65 significant detections in the third catalog (3HWC) of TeV gamma-ray sources from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory. Among many interesting objects, the 3HWC catalog contains twenty sources that are more than 1 degree away from any previously detected TeV source. These are called either orphan or unassociated TeV sources. With two more years of HAWC data than presented in the 3HWC catalog, we followed up on these twenty objects in time. We will present the temporal evolution of the excess significance for these candidates and compare our results with the expectation for steady sources.
