Abstract
The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory is highly suitable for large-scale survey
work. The high duty time (95%), large instantaneous FoV (2 sr), and sensitivity over the 300
GeV to more than 100 TeV energy range make it ideal for creating a catalog of very high energy
(VHE) sources. Over the lifetime of the HAWC observatory, 4 catalogs have been produced 3 of
which were constructed utilizing the full HAWC energy range while another used a restricted (>56
TeV) range. This talk will focus on the status of the planned 4HWC (full energy range) catalog
including the newly developed Multi-Source Fit algorithm inspired by the Fermi Extended Source
search method for the galactic plane. Using at least an additional 1000 days of data, improved
event reconstruction algorithms using HAWC’s newly completed fifth pass through its dataset,
and the improved search algorithm we expect to see a major improvement in the sensitivity and
accuracy compared to previous catalogs. Additionally, this talk will present preliminary results
from tests of the algorithm in “Benchmark” regions in HAWC data, including but not limited to,
the Crab Nebula and The Cygnus Cocoon
