Description

The HAWC gamma ray observatory situated at 4200 m altitude in the Volcan Sierra Negra, Central Mexico, has observed several sources that emit gamma rays of energies greater than 50 TeV. What are they? What is the production mechanism? How do they look in other frequencies? How do they relate to the sources of energetic cosmic rays? These are some of the questions that will be discussed.
