First NuSTAR Observations of Mrk 501 within a Radio to TeV Multi-Instrument Campaign

A. Furniss, K. Noda, S. Boggs +273

We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 1 April and 10 August 2013, including the first detailed characterization of the s…

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…

LS 5039: a runaway microquasar ejected from the galactic plane

M. Ribo, J. M. Paredes, G. E. Romero +4

We have compiled optical and radio astrometric data of the microquasar LS 5039 and derived its proper motion. This, together with the distance and radial velocity of the system, al…

The asymmetric compact jet of GRS 1915+105

M. Ribo, V. Dhawan, I. F. Mirabel

We present multiepoch VLBA observations of the compact jet of GRS 1915+105 conducted at 15.0 and 8.4 GHz during a {\it plateau} state of the source in 2003 March-April. These obser…

Microquasar observations with the MAGIC telescope

T. Y. Saito, R. Zanin, P. Bordas +7

Microquasars, X-ray binaries displaying relativistic jets driven by accretion onto a compact object, are some of the most efficient accelerators in the Galaxy. Theoretical models p…

A Multi-wavelength study of 1WGA J1346.5-6255: a new Cas analog unrelated to the background supernova remnant G309.2-00.6

S. Safi-Harb, M. Ribo, Y. Butt +5

1WGA J1346.5-6255 is a ROSAT X-ray source found within the radio lobes of the supernova remnant (SNR) G309.2-00.6. This source also appears to coincide with the bright and early-ty…
