Description

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-ray Observatory in the high mountains of Mexico has accumulated more 10 years of data and has recently completed a re-analysis of our data giving us significant improvements in our low energy response, angular resolution, background rejection and an expanded field of view. This talk will present an overview of these recent HAWC results showing our updated sky catalog, our view of the highest energy gamma-ray sky (including sources above 50 and 100 TeV), new Micro-quasar results, long-term monitoring of nearby AGN and recent observations of galactic Pevatrons. In addition, it will discuss the plans for the Southern Wide-field Gamma-ray observatory SWGO to be built in the Atacama desert in Chile.
