Abstract

Among the gamma-ray sources detected by the HAWC observatory, we consider in details in this work the gamma-ray sources eHWC J1907+063 and eHWC J2019+368. These two sources belong to the three most luminous sources detected by HAWC, with emission above 100 TeV. In addition to those, we have considered also a source for which IceCube currently report an excess in neutrinos, the 2HWC J1857+027 source. For these sources, we show the prediction for neutrinos at the IceCube detector. Moreover, we present the calculation of the statistical significance, considering 10 and 20 years of running time, and we comment on the current results reported by the collaboration. We found that a detection at 3$\sigma$ or more should be within reach of the next decade for the sources eHWC J1907+063 and eHWC J2019+368. Instead, the detection at about 3$\sigma$ of the 2HWC J1857+027 source will depend on the specific value of the flux, on the extension of the source and on the cut-off energy.
