Title: Daily Monitoring of TeV Gamma-Ray Emission from Mrk 421, Mrk 501, and the Crab Nebula with HAWC

Abstract

We introduce findings from daily monitoring of gamma-rays in the energy range from ~0.5 to ~100 TeV with the first 17 months of data from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory. Its wide field of view of 2 steradians and duty cycle of $$\gt 95$$% are unique features compared to other TeV observatories that allow us to observe every source that transits over HAWC for up to ~6 hr each sidereal day. Here, this regular sampling yields unprecedented light curves from unbiased measurements that are independent of seasons or weather conditions. For the Crab Nebula as a reference source, we find no variability in the TeV band. Our main focus is the study of the TeV blazars Markarian (Mrk) 421 and Mrk 501. A spectral fit for Mrk 421 yields a power-law index $${\rm{\Gamma }}=2.21\pm {0.14}_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm {0.20}_{\mathrm{sys}}$$ and an exponential cut-off $${E}_{0}=5.4\pm {1.1}_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm {1.0}_{\mathrm{sys}}$$ TeV. For Mrk 501, we find an index $${\rm{\Gamma }}=1.60\pm {0.30}_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm {0.20}_{\mathrm{sys}}$$ and exponential cut-off $${E}_{0}=5.7\pm {1.6}_{\mathrm{stat}}\pm {1.0}_{\mathrm{sys}}$$ TeV. The light curves for both sources show clear variability and a Bayesian analysis is applied to identify changes between flux states. The highest per-transit fluxes observed from Mrk 421 exceed the Crab Nebula flux by a factor of approximately five. For Mrk 501, several transits show fluxes in excess of three times the Crab Nebula flux. In a comparison to lower energy gamma-ray and X-ray monitoring data with comparable sampling, we cannot identify clear counterparts for the most significant flaring features observed by HAWC.
