Studying the Ultraviolet Spectrum of the First Spectroscopically Confirmed Supernova at redshift two

M. Smith, M. Sullivan, R. C. Nichol +87

We present observations of DES16C2nm, the first spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-free superluminous supernova (SLSN-I) at redshift z~2. DES16C2nm was discovered by the Dark Ene…

Indirect dark matter searches in the dwarf satellite galaxy Ursa Major II with the MAGIC Telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

The dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Major II (UMaII) is believed to be one of the most dark-matter dominated systems among the Milky Way satellites and represents a suitable target fo…

Gamma rays from microquasars Cygnus X-1 and Cygnus X-3

A. Fernández-Barral, O. Blanch, E. de Oña Wilhelmi +8

Gamma-ray observations of microquasars at high and very-high energies can provide valuable information of the acceleration processes inside the jets, the jet-environment interactio…

Constraining Lorentz invariance violation using the Crab Pulsar emission observed up to TeV energies by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry at energies on the order of the Planck energy or lower is predicted by many quantum gravity theories, implying non-trivial dispersion relat…

Constraints on particle acceleration in SS433/W50 from MAGIC and H.E.S.S. observations

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +408

The large jet kinetic power and non-thermal processes occurring in the microquasar SS 433 make this source a good candidate for a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitter. Gamma-ra…

A cut-off in the TeV gamma-ray spectrum of the SNR Cassiopeia A

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +141

It is widely believed that the bulk of the Galactic cosmic rays are accelerated in supernova remnants (SNRs). However, no observational evidence of the presence of particles of PeV…

MAGIC observations of the microquasar V404 Cygni during the 2015 outburst

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +142

The microquasar V404 Cygni underwent a series of outbursts in 2015, June 15-31, during which its flux in hard X-rays (20-40 keV) reached about 40 times the Crab Nebula flux. Becaus…

Observation of the Black Widow B1957+20 millisecond pulsar binary system with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +145

B1957+20 is a millisecond pulsar located in a black widow type compact binary system with a low mass stellar companion. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the companion star w…

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…

MAGIC detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the low-luminosity blazar 1ES 1741+196

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +159

We present the first detection of the nearby (z=0.084) low-luminosity BL Lac object 1ES 1741+196 in the very high energy (VHE: E100 GeV) band. This object lies in a triplet of i…
