With an instantaneous field of view of 2 sr and a duty cycle > 95%, the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory is a perfect instrument for monitoring variable TeV sources. Because radio galaxies are a type of Active…

M87 is a giant radio galaxy located in the Virgo Cluster, known to be a very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray source. As radio galaxies are considered the misaligned low-redshift counterparts of blazars, they are excellent laboratories for…

We present the monitoring of the TeV-emitting radio galaxies M87, NGC~1275, 3C~264, and IC~310 with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) over a period of approximately $7.5$ years. The analysis includes light curves at…

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory is an extensive air shower array located in Puebla, Mexico. The closest radio galaxy within the HAWC field of view, M87, has been detected in very high energies. In this work we…

M87 is a nearby radio galaxy and because of its misaligned jet, it is possible to correlate detailed spatially-resolved emission regions in the radio, optical to X-ray waveband with unresolved but contemporaneous flux measurements in the…

The giant radio galaxy M 87 was observed at TeV energies with the Cherenkov telescopes of the H.E.S.S. collaboration (High Energy Stereoscopic System). The observations have been performed in the year 2003 during the comissioning phase and…

One of the most intriguing open questions of today's astrophysics is the jet physical properties and the location and the mechanisms for the production of MeV, GeV, and TeV gamma-rays in AGN jets. M87 is a privileged laboratory for a…

Context.In recent years, non-blazar Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) such as Radio Galaxies have emerged as a highly instructive source class providing unique insights into high energy acceleration and radiation mechanisms. Aims.Here we aim at…

M87, the central galaxy of the Virgo cluster, is the first radio galaxy detected in the TeV regime. The structure of its jet, which is not pointing toward the line of sight, is spatially resolved in X-ray (by Chandra), in optical and in…

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC) continuously detects TeV photons and particles within its large field-of-view, accumulating every day a deeper exposure of two thirds of the sky. We analyzed 1523~days of HAWC…

We present an update of the survey of Active Galaxies with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) gamma-ray observatory. This work adds 567 days of HAWC data to the previously published survey, providing a refined analysis of an updated…

The High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory monitors the gamma-ray sky at energies between 100 GeV and 100 TeV with a wide field of view of $\sim 2$ steradians. A duty cycle of $\sim 90$% allows HAWC to scan two thirds of the sky…

One of the most intriguing open questions of today's astrophysics is the one concerning the location and the mechanisms for the production of MeV, GeV, and TeV gamma-rays in AGN jets. M87 is a privileged laboratory for a detailed study of…

The multiwavelength observation of the nearby radio galaxy M87 provides a unique opportunity to study in detail processes occurring in Active Galactic Nuclei from radio waves to TeV gamma-rays. Here we report the detection of gamma-ray…

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is a large field of view ($\sim$2sr) instrument sensitive to very-high energy gamma rays ($\sim$0.5-100TeV). It is located in central Mexico (19$^\circ$N) and has a high duty cycle…

M87 is a giant radio galaxy with FR-I morphology. It underwent three episodes of TeV flaring in recent years with the strongest one in April 2010 which was jointly monitored by MAGIC, VERITAS and H.E.S.S. We explain its spectral energy…

For the first time an excess of photons above an energy threshold of 730 GeV from the giant radio galaxy M87 has been measured at a significance level above 4 sigma. The data have been taken during the years 1998 and 1999 with the HEGRA…

The TeV radio galaxy M87 is the first radio galaxy detected in the TeV regime. The structure of its jet, which is not pointing towards our line of sight, is spatially resolved in X-ray (by Chandra), optical and radio observations. In 2008,…

The giant radio galaxy M 87 is located at a distance of 16.7 Mpc and harbors a super-massive black hole (6 billion solar masses) in its center. M 87 is one of just three radio galaxies known to emit TeV gamma-rays. The structure of its…

The nearby radio galaxy M87 offers a unique opportunity for exploring the connection between gamma-ray production and jet formation at an unprecedented linear resolution. However, the origin and location of the gamma-rays in this source is…
