It is difficult to identify hadronic PeVatrons (the PeV particle accelerator) from the ultra-high-energy (UHE, E>100TeV) gamma-ray sources, which is however crucial in revealing the origin of cosmic rays. As an endeavor in this regard, we focus in this work on the UHE gamma-ray source 1LHAASO J1857+0203u, which may associate with the supernova remnant (SNR) G35.6−0.4 and H II region G35.6−0.5....

The knee of cosmic ray spectra may reflect the maximum energy accelerated by galactic cosmic ray sources or the limit of the galaxy's ability to bind cosmic rays. Measurements of individual energy spectra are a crucial tool to understand the origin of the knee. One of the main scientific goals of Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is measuring the cosmic ray energy spectra and...
Propagating individual cosmic rays in synthetic three-dimensional Kolmogorov turbulence, we calculate their anisotropy at the location of an observer. These are the first calculations of the cosmic ray anisotropy down to TeV energies for values of the turbulence coherence length that are realistic for the interstellar medium. We calculate the power spectrum 𝐶𝑙, of the cosmic ray anisotropy for...
We show that a large asymmetric halo may be misidentified as multiple "mirage" sources, and that asymmetric diffusion could lead to a very large offset between the injection site and the identified halo. We add background noise into the region and try to identify the sources. We utilize the concept of asymmetric diffusion to elucidate several observed sources that were previously challenging...
The origin of the knee in the cosmic ray (CR) spectrum is still unknown after 65 years of studies. Here, within the framework of anisotropic CR diffusion models, we show that the knee is a time-dependent feature, and that the flux in this region contains major contributions from one or a few nearby recent CR sources. We calculate the propagation of CRs in the Jansson-Farrar galactic magnetic...
Due to significant improvements in observatory sensitivity, numerous halo-like sources have been identified. It appears that TeV halos commonly exist around powerful middle-aged pulsars. In this study, we present an observation of 1LHAASO J0359+5406 conducted by LHAASO. By applying a mask to the region above 1LHAASO J0359+5406, our fitting results reveal that it is an extended source with an...
Recent LHAASO observations of the prompt emission phase of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A imposes a stringent limit on the flux ratio between the TeV and MeV emissions, $F_{\rm TeV}/F_{\rm MeV}\le 2\times10^{-5}$, during the period $220 - 230\, {\rm s}$ after the trigger. This period covers the peak of the main MeV burst and is just before the TeV afterglow emerges. Within the...
LHAASO KM2A and WCDA are two detectors used to detect gamma rays for different energy range: greater than 10 TeV for KM2A and less than 10 TeV for WCDA. These detectors can be utilized for searching for dark matter. Decaying dark matter and annihilating dark matter can potentially result in a gamma ray excess compared to the background. In our study, we first performed data analysis to...
The gamma-ray spectral indexes of SNRs have a bimodal distribution. It has been suggested that the hard gamma-ray spectrum is produced via the inverse Comptonization processes of high-energy electrons in a low-density environment while the soft gamma-ray spectrum is dominated by pion decays produced via inelastic hadronic collisions in a high density region, the so-called leptonic and hadronic...

Since the completion and operation of the LHASSO-WCDA array, there has been a phenomenon of short-term abnormal decrease in counting rate followed by recovery.

GRB221009A produced fruitful data on WCDA. In WCDA trigger mode (TM), 2000-ns data around the trigger time are packed as raw events. Those raw events will then be processed through the noise filter software, which keeps the 200-ns data around the pre-reconstructed shower front as reduced events. Those data dropped in the noise filter process are a sample of triggerless data, which are clean of...

The arrival directions of TeV cosmic rays on the sky display an anisotropy at the 0.1 percent level. This anisotropy contains a dipole and higher order multipoles. Small-scale anisotropies should contain important information about the properties of the turbulent magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. These anisotropies have been predicted to vary on a time-scale of a decade at TeV...
We present our new model for the description of the $\rm{PeV}-\rm{TeV}$ Galactic gamma-ray emission assuming discrete distributions of cosmic-ray sources. Based on this model, we investigate the impact of the discreteness of the locations of the cosmis-ray sources and of the diffusion mechanism responsible for the propagation of cosmic rays on the morphology of the VHE Galactic diffuse...
