First bounds on the VHE gamma-ray emission from isolated Wolf-Rayet binary systems

Diego F. Torres, Javier Rico, Vincenzo Vitale

Different theoretical models predict VHE gamma-ray emission to arise in tight binary star systems (high mass-loss and high wind speeds), which has not been confirmed experimentally…

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…

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…

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…

First bounds on the high-energy emission from isolated Wolf-Rayet binary systems

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

High-energy gamma-ray emission is theoretically expected to arise in tight binary star systems (with high mass loss and high velocity winds), although the evidence of this relation…

Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays from a Distant Quasar: How Transparent Is the Universe?

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert

The atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope MAGIC, designed for a low-energy threshold, has detected very-high-energy gamma rays from a giant flare of the distant Quasi-Stellar R…
