Description

The eHWC J1825-134 region, located in the southern field of view of the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory, is among the most complex gamma-ray emission sites on the Galactic plane. This region hosts several potential PeVatron candidates capable of accelerating particles to PeV energies. Disentangling the overlapping gamma-ray emission and linking it to specific accelerators is essential for understanding the mechanisms of gamma-ray production and transport near these sources. In this talk, I will present HAWC’s observations of ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma-ray emission from this rich region and discuss the potential PeVatron sources associated with the UHE gamma rays.
