Multiband variability studies and novel broadband SED modeling of Mrk 501 in 2009

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +290

We present an extensive study of the BL Lac object Mrk 501 based on a data set collected during the multi-instrument campaign spanning from 2009 March 15 to 2009 August 1 which inc…

A search for spectral hysteresis and energy-dependent time lags from X-ray and TeV gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421

A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +220

Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars simultaneously at di…

Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Follow-Up Program Using Neutrino Triggers from IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham +537

We describe and report the status of a neutrino-triggered program in IceCube that generates real-time alerts for gamma-ray follow-up observations by atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope…

The RINGO2 and DIPOL Optical Polarisation Catalogue of Blazars

H. Jermak, I. A. Steele, E. Lindfors +9

We present ~2000 polarimetric and ~3000 photometric observations of 15 gamma-ray bright blazars over a period of 936 days (11/10/2008 - 26/10/2012) using data from the Tuorla blaza…

Design and expected performance of a novel hybrid detector for very-high-energy gamma astrophysics

P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10

Current detectors for Very-High-Energy -ray astrophysics are either pointing instruments with a small field of view (Cherenkov telescopes), or large field-of-view instruments wi…

Long-term multi-wavelength variability and correlation study of Markarian 421 from 2007 to 2009

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +176

We study the multi-band variability and correlations of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 on year time scales, which can bring additional insight on the processes responsible for its broadban…

Super-orbital variability of LS I +61°303 at TeV energies

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +150

The gamma-ray binary LS I +61303 is a well established source from centimeter radio up to very high energy (VHE; E100 GeV). Its broadband emission shows a periodicity…

Multi-Wavelength Observations of the Blazar 1ES 1011+496 in Spring 2008

The MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +158

The BL Lac object 1ES 1011+496 was discovered at Very High Energy gamma-rays by MAGIC in spring 2007. Before that the source was little studied in different wavelengths. Therefore…

Investigating the peculiar emission from the new VHE gamma-ray source H1722+119

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

The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes observed the BL Lac object H1722+119 (redshift unknown) for six consecutive nights between 2013 May 17 and 22,…

Deep observation of the NGC 1275 region with MAGIC: search of diffuse gamma-ray emission from cosmic rays in the Perseus cluster

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +154

Clusters of galaxies are expected to be reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs) that should produce diffuse gamma-ray emission due to their hadronic interactions with the intra-cluster med…

On the rate and on the gravitational wave emission of short and long GRBs

R. Ruffini, J. Rodriguez, M. Muccino +13

On the ground of the large number of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected with cosmological redshift, we classified GRBs in seven subclasses, all with binary progenitors originating gr…
