Abstract

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is a wide-field survey instrument sensitive to gamma rays and cosmic rays in the energy range from ∼100 GeV to > 100 TeV. Located in the state of Puebla, Mexico at 4100 m above sea level, HAWC has been fully operational for over three years, since its inauguration in March 2015. This work highlights recent results from HAWC, including both Galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray sources as well as cosmic-ray observations. It also highlights HAWC's role in several multimessenger studies, focusing on what we can learn in conjunction with neutrinos observed by IceCube and HAWC observations of GRBs in the context of gravitational waves.
