The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies
The Agile Collaboration, Webt Collaboration, Magic Collaboration +2
We present optical, X-ray, high energy ( GeV) and very high energy ( GeV; VHE) observations of the high-frequency peaked blazar Mrk 421 taken betwee…
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…
Periodic very high energy gamma-ray emission from LS I +61 303 observed with the MAGIC telescope
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The MAGIC collaboration has recently reported the discovery of gamma-ray emission from the binary system LS I +61 303 in the TeV energy region. Here we present new observational re…
Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Observations of a Strong Flaring Activity in M87 in 2008 February
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
M87 is the only known non blazar radio galaxy to emit very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. During a monitoring program of M87, a rapid flare in VHE gamma-rays was detected by the MAG…
MAGIC observations of the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130
J. Albert
We observed the first known very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting unidentified source, TeV J2032+4130, for 94 hours with the MAGIC telescope. The source was detected with a sig…
Multi-wavelength (radio, X-ray and gamma-ray) observations of the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
We present the results of the first multiwavelength observing campaign on the high-mass X-ray binary LS I +61 303 comprising observations at the TeV regime with the MAGIC telescope…
Upper limit for gamma-ray emission above 140 GeV from the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy Draco with its high mass to light ratio is one of the most auspicious targets for indirect dark matter searches. Annihilation of hypothetical DM…
Very High Energy Gamma-ray Radiation from the Stellar-mass Black Hole Cygnus X-1
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
We report on the results from the observations in very high energy band (VHE, E_gamma > 100 GeV) of the black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Cygnus X-1. The observations were performed w…
Discovery of VHE Gamma Radiation from IC443 with the MAGIC Telescope
MAGIC Collaboration
We report the detection of a new source of very high energy (VHE, E_gamma >= 100GeV) gamma-ray emission located close to the Galactic Plane, MAGIC J0616+225, which is spatially coi…
Systematic search for VHE gamma-ray emission from X-ray bright high-frequency BL Lac objects
M. Meyer
All but three (M87, BL Lac and 3C 279) extragalactic sources detected so far at very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays belong to the class of high-frequency peaked BL Lac (HBL) objects.…
Observation of VHE gamma-rays from Cassiopeia A with the MAGIC telescope
J. Albert
We searched for very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The shell-type supernova remnant Cassiopeia A was observed with the 17 meter MAGI…
Discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the low-frequency peaked BL Lacertae object BL Lacertae
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The MAGIC collaboration observed BL Lacertae for 22.2 hr during 2005 August to December and for 26 hr during 2006 July to September. The source is the historical prototype and epon…
A search for planetary-mass objects and brown dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius association
M. T. Costado, V. J. S. Bejar, J. A. Caballero +3
We report the results of a deep photometric search for planets and brown dwarfs in the nearby young OB Upper Scorpius association. We obtained optical (I) and near-infrared (JKs) i…
