A new measurement of a spatially extended gamma-ray signal from the center of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) has been recently published by the Fermi-LAT collaboration, reporting that the emission broadly resembles the so-called Galactic center…

Observations by HAWC indicate that many young pulsars (including Geminga and Monogem) are surrounded by spatially extended, multi-TeV emitting regions. It is not currently known, however, whether TeV emission is also produced by recycled,…
