HAWC observations strongly favor pulsar interpretations of the cosmic-ray positron excess
Recent measurements of the Geminga and $\mathrm{B}0656+14$ pulsars by the gamma-ray telescope HAWC (along with earlier measurements by Milagro) indicate that these objects generate significant fluxes of very high-energy electrons. In this paper, we use the very high-energy gamma-ray intensity and spectrum of these pulsars to calculate and constrain their …
