MAGIC Observations of PG 1553+113 during a Multiwavelength Campaign in July 2006
MAGIC Collaboration, Albert
The active galactic nucleus PG 1553+113 was observed by the MAGIC telescope in July 2006 during a multiwavelength campaign, in which telescopes in the optical, X-ray, and very high…
From Espresso to Codex
J. Liske, L. Pasquini, P. Bonifacio +24
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by distinct sets of science…
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…
Simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the blazar 1ES1959+650 at a low TeV flux
G. Tagliaferri, L. Foschini, G. Ghisellini +7
We present the results from a multiwavelength campaign on the TeV blazar 1ES 1959+650, performed in May, 2006. Data from the optical, UV, soft- and hard-X-ray and very high energy…
The RICH detector of the AMS-02 experiment: status and physics prospects
Rui Pereira, M. Aguilar-Benitez, L. Arruda +37
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), whose final version AMS-02 is to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) for at least 3 years, is a detector designed to measur…
The CODEX-ESPRESSO experiment: cosmic dynamics, fundamental physics, planets and much more..
S. Cristiani, G. Avila, P. Bonifacio +36
CODEX, a high resolution, super-stable spectrograph to be fed by the E-ELT, the most powerful telescope ever conceived, will for the first time provide the possibility of directly…
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…
The AMS-RICH velocity and charge reconstruction
F. Barao, M. Aguilar-Benitez, L. Arruda +37
The AMS detector, to be installed on the International Space Station, includes a Ring Imaging Cerenkov detector with two different radiators, silica aerogel (n=1.05) and sodium flu…
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…
VHE Gamma-Ray Observation of the Crab Nebula and its Pulsar with the MAGIC telescope
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
We report about very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula with the MAGIC telescope. The gamma-ray flux from the nebula was measured between 60 GeV and 9 TeV.…
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…
Constraints on the steady and pulsed very high energy gamma-ray emission from observations of PSR B1951+32/CTB 80 with the MAGIC Telescope
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
We report on very high energy gamma-observations with the MAGIC Telescope of the pulsar PSR B1951+32 and its associated nebula, CTB 80. Our data constrain the cutoff energy of the…
Variable VHE gamma-ray emission from Markarian 501
J. Albert et al
The blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) was observed at energies above 0.10 TeV with the MAGIC telescope from May through July 2005. The high sensitivity of the instrument enabled the d…
Signal Reconstruction for the MAGIC Telescope
J. Albert
Until April 2007 the MAGIC telescope used a 300 MSamples/s FADC system to sample the shaped PMT signals produced by the captured Cherenkov photons of air showers. Different algorit…
