    We investigate the origin of unidentified, extended TeV source 1LHAASO J0500+4454, considering three possible origins: cosmic rays interacting with a molecular cloud (MC), particles accelerated in a currently undetected supernova remnant (SNR), and an energetic outflow powered by a pulsar.
    Upper limits on the CO and X-ray emission from the $\gamma$-ray emitting region disfavor the MC and SNR...

    TeV gamma-ray binaries (TGBs) are rare, high-mass systems capable of accelerating particles to energies >10 TeV. Among them, HESS J0632+057, a candidate pulsar–Be star binary, stands out as a promising source, exhibiting phase-dependent X-ray and TeV flares. These phase-dependent flares can provide new insights into pulsar–disk interactions.

    We present results from a new multi-wavelength...

    The HAWC observatory detected ฆร-ray emission from the microquasar V4641 Sgr ($\gt$ 200 TeV) and revealed a $\sim$ 100 pc bubble, indicating PeV--scale particle acceleration; LHAASO subsequently extended the spectrum to ~0.8 PeV. In IR--mm data, we identify a millimeter clump $\sim$ 20$'$ from the microquasar, report its position and basic properties, and assess any spatial/kinematic...

    The recent LHAASO survey has revealed a new population of >25 TeV sources in the Northern Hemisphere, including several PeVatron candidates without clear counterparts at lower energies. These “TeV-only” sources present a critical test for models of Galactic particle acceleration. VERITAS, with its superior angular resolution and sensitivity between 100 GeV and 25 TeV, is well positioned to...

    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...

    Extreme particle acceleration usually involves magnetic fields and thus is inevitably accompanied by synchrotron emission from the accelerated particles.
    Measurement of this emission, including its polarization, can break model degeneracies and place important constraints on the physical mechanisms operating in a pevatron source.
    I will briefly review some of the constraints and then...

    The ASTRI Mini-Array is an array of nine Cherenkov telescopes under construction at the Teide Astronomical Observatory in Tenerife, Spain. Its Schwarzchild-Couder double-mirror optical design allows its camera to cover a large field of view (∼10 degrees in diameter), providing good gamma-ray sensitivity and angular resolution in the multi-TeV range and beyond (up to ∼200 TeV). This will...
