IACT event analysis with the MAGIC telescopes using deep convolutional neural networks with CTLearn
T. Miener, R. López-Coto, J. L. Contreras +6
The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescope system consists of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) and is located on the Canary island of La Pa…
Open-source Analysis Tools for Multi-instrument Dark Matter Searches
T. Miener, D. Kerszberg, C. Nigro +2
The nature of dark matter (DM) is still an open question in Physics. Gamma-ray and neutrino telescopes have been searching for DM signatures for several years and no detection has…
Combined searches for dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies observed with the MAGIC telescopes, including new data from Coma Berenices and Draco
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +191
Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) are among the best candidates to search for signals of dark matter annihilation with Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, given the…
Deep-learning-driven event reconstruction applied to simulated data from a single Large-Sized Telescope of CTA
Pietro Grespan, Mikael Jacquemont, Rubèn López-Coto +3
When very-high-energy gamma rays interact high in the Earth's atmosphere, they produce cascades of particles that induce flashes of Cherenkov light. Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov T…
Observation of the gamma-ray binary HESS J0632+057 with the H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS telescopes
C. B. Adams, W. Benbow, A. Brill +409
The results of gamma-ray observations of the binary system HESS J0632+057 collected during 450 hours over 15 years, between 2004 and 2019, are presented. Data taken with the atmosp…
Reconstruction of stereoscopic CTA events using deep learning with CTLearn
Tjark Miener, Daniel Nieto, Aryeh Brill +2
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), conceived as an array of tens of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs), is an international project for a next-generation ground-bas…
Physics Performance of the Large-Sized Telescope prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
R. López-Coto, A. Moralejo, M. Artero +15
The Large-Sized Telescope (LST) prototype of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is located at the Northern site of CTA, on the Canary Island of La Palma. It is designed to…
Search for Very High-Energy Emission from the millisecond pulsar PSR J0218+4232
V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +198
PSR J0218+4232 is one of the most energetic millisecond pulsars known and has long been considered as one of the best candidates for very high-energy (VHE; >100 GeV) gamma-ray emis…
Cross-calibration and combined analysis of the CTA-LST prototype and the MAGIC telescopes
Y. Ohtani, A. Berti, D. Depaoli +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation gamma-ray observatory, which will consist of three kinds of telescopes of different sizes. Among those, the Large Si…
Commissioning of the camera of the first Large Size Telescope of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Saito, C. Delgado, O. Blanch +30
The first Large Size Telescope (LST-1) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array has been operational since October 2018 at La Palma, Spain. We report on the results obtained during the cam…
Monitoring the pointing of the prototype LST-1 using star reconstruction in the Cherenkov camera
L. Foffano, A. Carosi, M. Dalchenko +3
The first Large-Sized Telescope (LST-1) proposed for the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) has started to operate in 2019 in La Palma. The large structure of LST-1 - with…
First detection of VHE gamma-ray emission from TXS~1515--273, study of its X-ray variability and spectral energy distribution
MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +196
We report here on the first multi-wavelength (MWL) campaign on the blazar TXS 1515-273, undertaken in 2019 and extending from radio to very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE). Up until n…
Investigation of the correlation patterns and the Compton dominance variability of Mrk 421 in 2017
