A Technique for Estimating the Absolute Gain of a Photomultiplier Tube

M. Takahashi, Y. Inome, S. Yoshii +26

Detection of low-intensity light relies on the conversion of photons to photoelectrons, which are then multiplied and detected as an electrical signal. To measure the actual intens…

First Multi-wavelength Campaign on the Gamma-ray-loud Active Galaxy IC 310

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +160

The extragalactic VHE gamma-ray sky is rich in blazars. These are jetted active galactic nuclei viewed at a small angle to the line-of-sight. Only a handful of objects viewed at a…

MAGIC detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the low-luminosity blazar 1ES 1741+196

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +159

We present the first detection of the nearby (z=0.084) low-luminosity BL Lac object 1ES 1741+196 in the very high energy (VHE: E100 GeV) band. This object lies in a triplet of i…

Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +153

Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic Center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports th…
