Abstract
In 2020, the HAWC Collaboration presented the first catalog of gamma-ray sources emitting above
56 TeV and 100 TeV. With nine sources detected, this was the highest-energy source catalog to
date. Here, we present the results of re-analysis of the old data, along with additional data acquired
since then. We use a new version of the reconstruction software with better pointing accuracy and
improved gamma/hadron separation. We now see more than 25 sources above 56 TeV, with most
sources being located in the Galactic plane. The vast majority of these seem to be leptonic pulsar
wind nebulae, but some have been shown to have hadronic emission. We will show spectra and
discuss possible emission mechanisms of some of the most interesting sources, including the ones
the HAWC Collaboration considers PeVatron candidates.
