TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first catalog of TeV gamma-ray sources realized with data from the newly completed High Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC), which is the most sensitive wide field-of-view TeV telescope currently in operation, with a one-year survey sensitivity of ∼5% of the flux of the Crab Nebula.
