Milagro Detects TeV Emission from Sources in the Fermi Bright Source List
The 14 Fermi sources observed at 3σ or more in the Milagro data. Shown is the Milagro
significance map with the location of the Fermi source indicated with white dots.
The Fermi collaboration has recently announced a list of the 205 most significant sources. The figure shows the 14 Fermi sources which are observed at more than 3σ in the Milagro data. A preprint for the paper is available on the arXiv. This is encouraging for HAWC because all of these detections are visible in HAWC with only a few months of data. This suggests that there is a lot of interesting sources just waiting at the edge of Milagro's sensitivity for HAWC to explore.
