| Abstract: | The Pierre Auger Observatory, being the largest air-shower experiment in the world, offers an unprecedented exposure to neutral particles at the highest energies. Since the start of data taking more than 18 years ago, various searches for ultra-high-energy (UHE, E > 10[sup]17 eV) photons have been performed: either for a diffuse flux of UHE photons, for point sources of UHE photons or for UHE photons associated with
transient events like gravitational wave events. In the present paper, we summarize these searches and review
the current results obtained using the wealth of data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory. |
