Description

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory has identified three TeV gamma-ray sources in the DA 495 region, a complex area of the Galactic plane that includes the pulsar wind nebula candidate DA 495 and other sources. In this talk, I will present an updated analysis of the morphology and energy spectra of these sources using 2860 days of HAWC data processed with an improved reconstruction algorithm. I will highlight the distinctive properties of each source and explore the potential origins of the observed TeV gamma rays. Additionally, I will discuss prospects for follow-up observations with VERITAS. This future collaborative study will provide a deeper understanding of the emission mechanisms in this region.
