Observations of Sagittarius A* during the pericenter passage of the G2 object with MAGIC
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +153
Context. We present the results of a multi-year monitoring campaign of the Galactic Center (GC) with the MAGIC telescopes. These observations were primarily motivated by reports th…
A search for spectral hysteresis and energy-dependent time lags from X-ray and TeV gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421
A. U. Abeysekara, S. Archambault, A. Archer +220
Blazars are variable emitters across all wavelengths over a wide range of timescales, from months down to minutes. It is therefore essential to observe blazars simultaneously at di…
Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Follow-Up Program Using Neutrino Triggers from IceCube
IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, K. Abraham +537
We describe and report the status of a neutrino-triggered program in IceCube that generates real-time alerts for gamma-ray follow-up observations by atmospheric-Cherenkov telescope…
Detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the gravitationally-lensed blazar QSO B0218+357 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +151
Context. QSO B0218+357 is a gravitationally lensed blazar located at a redshift of 0.944. The gravitational lensing splits the emitted radiation into two components, spatially indi…
Orphan γ-ray flares from relativistic blobs encountering luminous stars
P. Banasiński, W. Bednarek, J. Sitarek
We propose that γ -rays in blazars can be produced during encounters of relativistic blobs of plasma with radiation field produced by luminous stars within (or close to) the jet. T…
Latest MAGIC discoveries pushing redshift boundaries in VHE Astrophysics
M. Manganaro, J. Becerra González, M. Nievas +10
The search for detection of gamma-rays from distant AGNs by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) is challenging at high redshifts, not only because of lower flux due to…
