Description
Key sources of very high-energy (VHE) gamma rays include extragalactic objects such as blazars, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and other intriguing transient events. Investigating these targets is essential for gaining critical insights into various astrophysical phenomena, including black hole accretion, particle acceleration, and the dynamics of explosive events.
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), located in China, is a multi-purpose facility designed to detect cosmic rays and gamma rays in the energy range from a few hundred GeV to a few hundred PeV. As one of three sub-arrays comprising LHAASO, the Water Cherenkov Detector Array (WCDA). The wide field of view, high duty cycle, and high sensitivity of LHAASO-WCDA provide an ideal platform for capturing these flaring phenomena, contributing to a deeper understanding of their origins and characteristics. In this work, I will present the extragalactic sources detected by LHAASO-WCDA, along with a preliminary catalog of these sources. Details regarding transient event handling, including the monitoring framework, analysis pipeline, and results, will also be included.
