Black hole lightning due to particle acceleration at subhorizon scales

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +151

Supermassive black holes with masses of millions to billions of solar masses are commonly found in the centers of galaxies. Astronomers seek to image jet formation using radio inte…

Multiwavelength observations of Mrk 501 in 2008

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +256

Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996. Our goal is to characterize in detail the source gam…

Discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the pulsar wind nebula 3C 58 by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +145

The pulsar wind nebula (PWN) 3C 58 is one of the historical very-high-energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray source candidates. It is energized by one of the highest spin-down power pul…
