高海拔水切伦科夫天文台的第一年结果

First year results of the High Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory

Alberto Carramiñana

摘要:

高海拔水切伦科夫(HAWC)伽马射线天文台是一个宽视场(1.8 Sr)和高占空比(>95%的正常运行时间)的探测器,具有研究TeV伽马射线源的独特能力。HAWC安装在普埃布拉州内格拉火山北坡海拔4100米处,由墨西哥和美国的大约30个机构合作,自2015年3月以来一直在全面运作,每个恒星日测量2/3的天空,监测活动星系,并将银河平面中的源映射到每天1个螃蟹的检测水平。本文总结了HAWC伽马射线观测站第一年的主要观测结果。

英文摘要:

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory is a wide field of view (1.8 Sr) and high duty cycle (>95% up-time) detector of unique capabilities for the study of TeV gamma-ray sources. Installed at an altitude of 4100m in the Northern slope of Volcán Sierra Negra, Puebla, by a collaboration of about thirty institutions of Mexico and the United States, HAWC has been in full operations since March 2015, surveying 2/3 of the sky every sidereal day, monitoring active galaxies and mapping sources in the Galactic Plane to a detection level of 1 Crab per day. This contribution summarizes the main results of the first year of observations of the HAWC gamma-ray observatory.
