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…
Prototyping Hexagonal Light Concentrators Using High-Reflectance Specular Films for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Akira Okumura, Dang Viet Tan, Sakiya Ono +8
We have developed a prototype hexagonal light concentrator for the Large-Sized Telescopes of the Cherenkov Telescope Array. To maximize the photodetection efficiency of the focal-p…
MAGIC Contributions to the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2017)
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +143
MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) is a system of two 17 m diameter, F/1.03 Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). They are dedicated to the observation of…
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…
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…
