Abstract
We present a short overview of the TeV-Halos objects as a discovery and a relevant contribution of the High Altitude Water Cerenkov (HAWC) observatory to TeV astrophysics. We discuss history, discovery, knowledge, and the next step through a new and more detailed analysis than the original study in 2017. TeV-Halos will contribute to resolving the problem of the local positron excess observed on the Earth. To clarify the latter, understanding the diffusion process is mandatory.

Report
The paper briefly touches upon various physics achievements of the HAWC experiment so far without going deeply into any of them. It describes the HAWC’s studies on TeV-Halos and local positron excess in somewhat detail. As a conference contribution, the contents are okay to be published in the SciPost journal.
Requested changes
1. can broken -> can be broken
2. XXI century -> 21st century
