TeV gamma-ray observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +250

We search for high-energy gamma-ray emission from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 with the H.E.S.S. Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. The observations presented here have b…

Constraining Lorentz invariance violation using the Crab Pulsar emission observed up to TeV energies by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry at energies on the order of the Planck energy or lower is predicted by many quantum gravity theories, implying non-trivial dispersion relat…

Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight

D. Guberman, P. Colin

MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…

Performance of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras

S. Bonnefoy, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37

The 14 years old cameras of the H.E.S.S. 12-m telescopes have been upgraded in 2015/2016, with the goals of reducing the system failure rate, reducing the dead time and improving t…

Search for very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar Cygnus X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +144

The microquasar Cygnus X-1 displays the two typical soft and hard X-ray states of a black-hole transient. During the latter, Cygnus X-1 shows a one-sided relativistic radio-jet. Re…

Hardware and software architecture of the upgraded H.E.S.S. cameras

S. Klepser, T. Ashton, M. Backes +37

In 2015/16, the photomultiplier cameras of the H.E.S.S. Cherenkov telescopes CT1-4 have undergone a major upgrade. The entire electronics has been replaced, using NECTAr chips for…

Constraints on particle acceleration in SS433/W50 from MAGIC and H.E.S.S. observations

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +408

The large jet kinetic power and non-thermal processes occurring in the microquasar SS 433 make this source a good candidate for a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitter. Gamma-ra…

MAGIC observations of the microquasar V404 Cygni during the 2015 outburst

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +142

The microquasar V404 Cygni underwent a series of outbursts in 2015, June 15-31, during which its flux in hard X-rays (20-40 keV) reached about 40 times the Crab Nebula flux. Becaus…

Characterising the VHE diffuse emission in the central 200 parsecs of our Galaxy with H.E.S.S

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, H. Abdalla +256

The diffuse very high-energy (VHE, > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission observed in the central 200 pc of the Milky Way by H.E.S.S. was found to follow the dense matter distribution in th…

Observation of the Black Widow B1957+20 millisecond pulsar binary system with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +145

B1957+20 is a millisecond pulsar located in a black widow type compact binary system with a low mass stellar companion. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the companion star w…

First Multi-wavelength Campaign on the Gamma-ray-loud Active Galaxy IC 310

M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +160

The extragalactic VHE gamma-ray sky is rich in blazars. These are jetted active galactic nuclei viewed at a small angle to the line-of-sight. Only a handful of objects viewed at a…

MAGIC detection of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the low-luminosity blazar 1ES 1741+196

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +159

We present the first detection of the nearby (z=0.084) low-luminosity BL Lac object 1ES 1741+196 in the very high energy (VHE: E100 GeV) band. This object lies in a triplet of i…
