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…

MAGIC upper limits to the VHE gamma-ray flux of 3C454.3 in high emission state

H. Anderhub, S. Vercellone, I. Donnarumma +2

We report upper limits to the very high energy flux (E>100 GeV) of the flat spectrum radio quasar 3C454.3 (z=0.859) derived by the Cherenkov telescope MAGIC during the high states…

Upper Limits on the VHE gamma-ray Emission from the Willman 1 Satellite Galaxy with the MAGIC telescope

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

We present the result of the observation of the ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Willman 1 performed with the 17 m MAGIC telescope during 15.5 hr between March and May 2008. No significant…

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…
