Analysis of a Sample of High-Energy Peaked BL Lac Objects with the HAWC Observatory

POSTER

Abstract

We identified candidate TeV emitters from a list of published High-Energy peaked BL Lac (HBL). We searched for very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from these objects using the six-year data set from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory. We established flux upper limits assuming extrapolated power laws for each source. We will present the results of our search in the VHE range as well as preliminary physical models of these sources using both X-ray and gamma-ray data.
