Indirect dark matter searches in the dwarf satellite galaxy Ursa Major II with the MAGIC Telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

The dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Major II (UMaII) is believed to be one of the most dark-matter dominated systems among the Milky Way satellites and represents a suitable target fo…

Multiwavelength observations of the blazar BL Lacertae in June 2015

Shimpei Tsujimoto, Monica Vazquez Acosta, Elina Lindfors +9

BL Lacertae is a blazar at the redshift of z = 0.069, eponym of the BL Lac blazar type. It is also a prototype of the low-frequency-peaked BL Lac (LBL) subclass. It was first detec…

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…

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…
