Search For New Sources Of Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays

Kenya Mitchell

In the HAWC observatory's third catalogue of very-high-energy gamma ray sources, three of the unassociated sources were observed overlapping with pulsars from the ANTF pulsar catalogue. These three sources were further analyzed, as the pulsar association is relevant to the study of gamma ray acceleration. A morphological and spectral analysis was conducted to determine changes in each source’s extension and level of emission. It was concluded that each source grew in intensity over time.
