With its large field of view and high duty cycle, HAWC has been observing a large fraction of the sky for than a year. We will present the recent analysis and results, in particular on Galactic sources.

A very high energy gamma-ray survey observatory in the southern hemisphere delivering a large field-of-view and high-duty cycle will complete the picture of our galaxy, in particular in regards to extended and large scale structures. It will provide unprecedented access to the southern Fermi bubble region, to molecular clouds, and diffuse emission in the southern hemisphere at energies >GeV. ...

Gamma ray science
The recent discovery of a sixth gamma ray binary in the Large Magellanic Cloud by the Fermi Large Area Telescope opens up new possibilities for TeV binary searches in the near extragalactic region. Located in the Southern hemisphere, its high luminosity and position in the Large Magellanic Cloud makes this system a unique discovery target for a southern gamma-ray survey observatory. This...

Gamma ray science
Multi-TeV, wide field-of-view (fov) gamma-ray observatories are uniquely suited to search for beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) physics using astrophysical objects. These include searches for dark matter, primordial black holes, axions, and tests of Lorentz invariance. Some of the most promising dark matter sources in the sky are several degrees across, so searches with smaller fov instruments...
