The LHAASO Collaboration has recently reported a measurement of the diffuse gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Plane at energies between 10 TeV and 1 PeV. While this emission is brighter than that expected from cosmic-ray interactions in the interstellar medium alone, we show that the intensity, spectrum, and morphology of this excess are in good agreement with that predicted from the "TeV halos" which surround the Milky Way's pulsar population. These results support the conclusion that TeV halos dominate the ultra-high-energy sky, and that these objects convert $\sim 5\%$ of their total spindown power into very-high and ultra-high-energy photons.

  1. Modelling Galactic neutrino emission: contributions from massive star clusters and interstellar cosmic rays

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Computes neutrino template maps from the Galactic Plane including star cluster emission, finding the cluster contribution may be non-negligible and consistent with IceCube best-fit templates.

  2. Too Heavy to Hide: Gamma-Ray Constraints on Annihilating Dark Matter beyond Unitarity

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  3. Search for TeV emission from spider millisecond pulsars with HAWC

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    HAWC observations yield no TeV detections from spider MSPs, with upper limits indicating they are unlikely to contribute substantially to Galactic diffuse emission at TeV energies.

  4. Breaking Dark: Hunting Heavy Decaying Dark Matter with Tibet AS$_\gamma$ and LHAASO-KM2A

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    Tibet ASγ and LHAASO-KM2A diffuse gamma-ray data exclude decaying dark matter lifetimes below about 10^28 seconds for masses around 10^6-10^9 GeV, for many Standard Model final states.

  5. Constraining the slow-diffusion zone size and electron injection spectral index for the Geminga pulsar halo

    astro-ph.HE 2023-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A two-zone diffusion model fitted to HAWC morphology and spectrum data constrains Geminga's slow-diffusion zone to 30-70 pc and injection index p ≤ 2.17, reproducing AMS-02 positrons as a derived outcome.
