Searches for Dark Matter signatures in the Segue 1 dwarf spheroidal galaxy with the MAGIC-I telescope

S. Paiano, S. Lombardi, M. Doro +2

Despite the interest in Dark Matter (DM) searches is currently more focused on underground experiments, a signature of DM annihilation/decay in gamma-rays from the space would cons…

Measurement of the cosmic electron plus positron spectrum with the MAGIC telescopes

D. Borla Tridon, P. Colin, L. Cossio +2

Cosmic electrons with energies in the TeV range lose their energy rapidly through synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton processes, resulting in a relatively short lifetime (~ 1…

Probing the CR positron/electron ratio at few hundreds GeV through Moon shadow observation with the MAGIC telescopes

Pierre Colin, Daniela Borla Tridon, Alicia Diago Ortega +6

The antimatter components measured in the Cosmic Ray (CR) flux are thought as secondary particles induced by the propagation of galactic CRs within the galaxy. Recent results from…

The search for galactic dark matter clump candidates with Fermi and MAGIC

D. Nieto, J. Aleksić, J. A. Barrio +8

We present a systematic search for potential dark matter clumps in our Galaxy among the 630 unassociated sources included in the LAT 1-year Point Source Catalog. Assuming a dark ma…

Phase-resolved energy spectra of the Crab Pulsar in the range of 50-400 GeV measured with the MAGIC Telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, E. A. Alvarez +155

We use 73 h of stereoscopic data taken with the MAGIC telescopes to investigate the very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission of the Crab pulsar. Our data show a highly significant…
