Abstract

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is an air shower detector designed to study very-high-energy gamma rays. In this proceeding we report the most recent scientific results by HAWC that include the detection of 39, point and extended, gamma-ray sources (already known and new) as well as their physical properties. Also HAWC monitors the flux from the Crab Nebula and two nearby active galactic nuclei, Markarian 421 and Markarian 501, every day as well as searching for transient on various timescales from other sources.
