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…

The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies

R. M. Wagner, I. Donnarumma, J. Grube +6

We present optical to very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421 between 2008 May 24 and June 23. A high-energy (HE) gamma-ray signal was detected by AGILE-GRID durin…

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…
