HAWC detects showers produced by high energy cosmic rays which hit the Earth's atmosphere. It monitors the northern sky and makes coincident observations with other observatories such as VERITAS, HESS, MAGIC, IceCube, CTA and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, to obtain multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations on cosmic phenomena. |
