MAGIC upper limits on the GRB 090102 afterglow

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +160

Indications of a GeV component in the emission from GRBs are known since the EGRET observations during the 1990's and they have been confirmed by the data of the Fermi satellite. T…

MAGIC observations and multifrequency properties of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 3C 279 in 2011

J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +168

We study the multifrequency emission and spectral properties of the quasar 3C 279. We observed 3C 279 in very high energy (VHE, E>100GeV) gamma rays, with the MAGIC telescopes duri…

MAGIC discovery and multiwavelength observations of the BL Lac 1ES 1727+502

K. Berger, G. De Caneva, E. Lindfors +3

Blazars, active galactic nuclei whose jet axis is pointed towards the observer, constitute the most numerous class of extragalactic very high energy (VHE, E > 100\, GeV) gamma-ray…

MAGIC Gamma-ray Observations of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster

Fabio Zandanel, Pierre Colin, Saverio Lombardi +6

In order to detect the gamma-ray emission from cosmic ray (CR) interactions with the intra-cluster medium, the ground-based imaging Cherenkov telescope MAGIC conducted the deepest-…

The Aftermath of an Exceptional TeV Flare in the AGN Jet of IC 310

Dorit Eisenacher, Pierre Colin, Saverio Lombardi +17

The nearby active galaxy IC 310 (z=0.019), located in the Perseus cluster of galaxies is a bright and variable multi-wavelength emitter from the radio regime up to very high gamma-…

Physics performance of the upgraded MAGIC telescopes obtained with Crab Nebula data

Julian Sitarek, Emiliano Carmona, Pierre Colin +11

MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located at the Canary Island of La Palma, designed to observe gamma rays with energies above 50 GeV. Recently it h…
