K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +212
Mrk 421 was in its most active state around early 2010, which led to the highest TeV gamma-ray flux ever recorded from any active galactic nuclei. We aim to characterize the multiw…
Discovery of TeV -ray emission from the neighbourhood of the supernova remnant G24.7+0.6 by MAGIC
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +151
SNR G24.7+0.6 is a 9.5 kyrs radio and -ray supernova remnant evolving in a dense medium. In the GeV regime, SNR G24.7+0.6 (3FHL\,J1834.1--0706e/FGES\,J1834.1--0706) shows a har…
Astrophysical Sources of Cosmic Rays and Related Measurements with the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, J. Abraham, P. Abreu +469
Studies of the correlations of ultra-high energy cosmic ray directions with extra-Galactic objects, of general anisotropy, of photons and neutrinos, and of other astrophysical effe…
First detection of VHE gamma-ray emission from TXS~1515--273, study of its X-ray variability and spectral energy distribution
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +196
We report here on the first multi-wavelength (MWL) campaign on the blazar TXS 1515-273, undertaken in 2019 and extending from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE). Up until n…
Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +153
Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic Center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports th…
First Multi-wavelength Campaign on the Gamma-ray-loud Active Galaxy IC 310
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +160
The extragalactic VHE gamma-ray sky is rich in blazars. These are jetted active galactic nuclei viewed at a small angle to the line-of-sight. Only a handful of objects viewed at a…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +162
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to measure Cherenkov light from…
Rapid and multi-band variability of the TeV-bright active nucleus of the galaxy IC 310
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. AleksiÄ, L. A. Antonelli +161
Context. The radio galaxy IC 310 has recently been identified as a gamma-ray emitter based on observations at GeV energies with Fermi-LAT and at very high energies (VHE, E>100GeV)…
Multiwavelength variability and correlation studies of Mrk 421 during historically low X-ray and -ray activity in 20152016
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +224
We report a characterization of the multi-band flux variability and correlations of the nearby (z=0.031) blazar Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) using data from Metsähovi, Swift, Fermi-LAT…
Search for Gamma-ray Spectral Lines from Dark Matter Annihilation up to 100 TeV towards the Galactic Center with MAGIC
MAGIC Collaboration, H. Abe, S. Abe +210
Line-like features in TeV -rays constitute a ''smoking gun'' for TeV-scale particle dark matter and new physics. Probing the Galactic Center region with ground-based Cherenkov…
Observations of the magnetars 4U 0142+61 and 1E 2259+586 with the MAGIC telescopes
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. AleksiÄ, L. A. Antonelli +153
Magnetars are an extreme, highly magnetized class of isolated neutron stars whose large X-ray luminosity is believed to be driven by their high magnetic field. In this work we stud…
