Active Galactic Nuclei: Sources for ultra high energy cosmic rays?

P. L. Biermann, J. K. Becker, L. Caramete +11

The origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays promises to lead us to a deeper understanding of the structure of matter. This is possible through the study of particle collisions at c…

MAGIC upper limits to the VHE gamma-ray flux of 3C454.3 in high emission state

H. Anderhub, S. Vercellone, I. Donnarumma +2

We report upper limits to the very high energy flux (E>100 GeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 (z=0.859) derived by the Cherenkov telescope MAGIC during the high states…

Discovery of a very high energy gamma-ray signal from the 3C 66A/B region

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

The MAGIC telescope observed the region around the distant blazar 3C 66A for 54.2 h in 2007 August-December. The observations resulted in the discovery of a gamma-ray source at ene…

Neutrinos from active black holes, sources of ultra high energy cosmic rays

Julia K. Becker, Peter L. Biermann

A correlation between the highest energy Cosmic Rays (above ~ EeV) and the distribution of active galactic nuclei (AGN) gives rise to a prediction of neutrino production in the sam…

Simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the blazar 1ES1959+650 at a low TeV flux

G. Tagliaferri, L. Foschini, G. Ghisellini +7

We present the results from a multiwavelength campaign on the TeV blazar 1ES 1959+650, performed in May, 2006. Data from the optical, UV, soft- and hard-X-ray and very high energy…
