Discovery of a very high energy gamma-ray signal from the 3C 66A/B region

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

The MAGIC telescope observed the region around the distant blazar 3C 66A for 54.2 h in 2007 August-December. The observations resulted in the discovery of a gamma-ray source at ene…

Observation of Pulsed Gamma-rays Above 25 GeV from the Crab Pulsar with MAGIC

The MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

One fundamental question about pulsars concerns the mechanism of their pulsed electromagnetic emission. Measuring the high-end region of a pulsar's spectrum would shed light on thi…

Implementation of the Random Forest Method for the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope MAGIC

J. Albert

The paper describes an application of the tree classification method Random Forest (RF), as used in the analysis of data from the ground-based gamma telescope MAGIC. In such telesc…
