Analysis of LHAASO J2108+5157 with HAWC Observatory data

ORAL

Abstract

PeVatrons are able to accelerate cosmic rays up to PeV energies, which can result in gamma rays with energies greater than 100 TeV. LHAASO J2108+5157 is a PeVatron candidate seen significantly by Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) above 100 TeV. The region has been reported on by both LHAASO and the first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1), but its origins remain unknown. This source is seen significantly above 6 TeV by the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory in the newest dataset. There is an ongoing joint analysis with Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) and HAWC data. I will present the results of the analysis with HAWC data in the region, as well as the multi-wavelength modeling including both HAWC and VERITAS data.
