Photo-z optimization for measurements of the BAO radial direction

Daniel Roig, Licia Verde, Jordi Miralda-Escude +2

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the radial direction offer a method to directly measure the Universe expansion history, and to set limits to space curvature when combined to…

Non thermal emission from microquasar/ISM interaction

P. Bordas, V. Bosch-Ramon, J. M. Paredes +1

The interaction of microquasar jets with their environment can produce non-thermal radiation as is the case for extragalactic outflows impacting on their surroundings. We have deve…

Discovery of slow X-ray pulsations in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54

P. Reig, J. M Torrejon, I. Negueruela +3

The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pulsations have not been detected in the time range 0.001-1000 s.…

Exploring the powering source of the TeV X-ray binary LS 5039

J. Moldon, M. Ribo, Josep M. Paredes +2

LS 5039 is one of the four TeV emitting X-ray binaries detected up to now. The powering source of its multi-wavelength emission can be accretion in a microquasar scenario or wind i…

Improving the performance of the single-dish Cherenkov telescope MAGIC through the use of signal timing

MAGIC Collaboration

The Cherenkov light flashes produced by Extensive Air Showers are very short in time. A high bandwidth and fast digitizing readout, therefore, can minimize the influence of the bac…
