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…

Probing quantum gravity using photons from a flare of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 501 observed by the MAGIC telescope

J. Albert et al., John Ellis, N. E. Mavromatos +3

We analyze the timing of photons observed by the MAGIC telescope during a flare of the active galactic nucleus Mkn 501 for a possible correlation with energy, as suggested by some…

Discovery of Very High Energy gamma-rays from 1ES 1011+496 at z=0.212

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert

We report on the discovery of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object 1ES1011+496. The observation was triggered by an optical outburst in March 2007…
