Science with e-ASTROGAM (A space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics)
A. De Angelis, V. Tatischeff, I. A. Grenier +248
e-ASTROGAM (enhanced ASTROGAM) is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated t…
LATTES: a novel detector concept for a gamma-ray experiment in the Southern hemisphere
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
The Large Array Telescope for Tracking Energetic Sources (LATTES), is a novel concept for an array of hybrid EAS array detectors, composed of a Resistive Plate Counter array couple…
Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, B. S. Acharya +580
The Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA, will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA i…
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…
Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight
D. Guberman, P. Colin
MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm Optimisation for an Array of Cherenkov Telescopes
Bruno Fontes Souto, Ulisses Barres de Almeida, Ugo Giaccari
We have conceived and implemented a multi-objective genetic algorithm (GA) code for the optimisation of an array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The algorithm…
Search for very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar Cygnus X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +144
The microquasar Cygnus X-1 displays the two typical soft and hard X-ray states of a black-hole transient. During the latter, Cygnus X-1 shows a one-sided relativistic radio-jet. Re…
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…
Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +143
MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
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…
LATTES: a new gamma-ray detector concept for South America
P. Assis, U. Barres de Almeida, A. Blanco +10
Currently the detection of Very High Energy gamma-rays for astrophysics rely on the measurement of the Extensive Air Showers (EAS) either using Cherenkov detectors or EAS arrays wi…
The Brazilian Science Data Center (BSDC)
Ulisses Barres de Almeida, Paolo Giommi, Carlos H. Brandt +1
Astrophysics and Space Science are becoming increasingly characterised by what is now known as "big data", the bottlenecks for progress partly shifting from data acquisition to "da…
