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…

Improving the performance of the single-dish Cherenkov telescope MAGIC through the use of signal timing

MAGIC Collaboration

The Cherenkov light flashes produced by Extensive Air Showers are very short in time. A high bandwidth and fast digitizing readout, therefore, can minimize the influence of the bac…

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…

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…

Monte Carlo Simulation for the MAGIC-II System

E. Carmona, P. Majumdar, A. Moralejo +8

Within the year 2007, MAGIC will be upgraded to a two telescope system at La Palma. Its main goal is to improve the sensitivity in the stereoscopic/coincident operational mode. At…
