Description
The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) TeV Gamma-Ray Observatory in Mexico is a wide-field-of-view telescope with a nearly 100 % duty cycle. It has been taking data with a complete detector configuration since spring 2015 and is particularly well suited to measure very energetic transient and extended gamma-ray emission in our Galaxy. In my presentation, I will give an overview of the most recent HAWC results relating to Galactic sources. This will include highlights from the 2HWC catalog, measurements of PWNe in the general Geminga region, and observations of binary systems and extended structures such as the Northern Fermi Bubble, molecular clouds, or diffuse emission at TeV energies.
