abstract
A survey of Galactic gamma-ray sources at a median energy of ~20 TeV has been performed using the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory. Eight candidate sources of TeV emission are detected with pre-trials significance $>4.5\sigma$ in the region of Galactic longitude $l\in[30^\circ,220^\circ]$ and latitude $b\in[-10^\circ,10^\circ]$. Four of these sources, including the Crab nebula and the recently published MGRO J2019+37, are observed with significances $>4\sigma$ after accounting for the trials involved in searching the 3800 square degree region. All four of these sources are also coincident with EGRET sources. Two of the lower significance sources are coincident with EGRET sources and one of these sources is Geminga. The other two candidates are in the Cygnus region of the Galaxy. Several of the sources appear to be spatially extended. The fluxes of the sources at 20 TeV range from ~25% of the Crab flux to nearly as bright as the Crab.

PHECT is a configurable computation tool for pulsar halo gamma-ray emission using multiple transport models and stable finite-volume discretizations.
Gamma-ray upper limits from five high-energy observatories constrain the annihilation cross sections of composite dark matter in the mass range 10^5--10^12 GeV.
3D MHD simulations of young massive star clusters find proton acceleration to hundreds of TeV near O-star termination shocks, with even faster acceleration to over 100 TeV in under 100 years when a supernova remnant expands inside the core.
Simulations indicate that CTA's angular resolution and LHAASO-KM2A's large area will improve morphological separation of diffusion-based pulsar halos from simpler spatial models.
