Discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the blazar 1ES 0033+595 by the MAGIC telescopes

J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +157

The number of known very high energy (VHE) blazars is , which is very small in comparison to the number of blazars detected in other frequencies. This situation is a hand…
