Insights into the emission of the blazar 1ES 1011+496 through unprecedented broadband observations during 2011 and 2012
J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +161
1ES 1011+496 was discovered in very high energy (VHE, E >100 GeV) -rays with MAGIC in 2007. The absence of simultaneous data at lower energies led to a rather incomp…
The 2009 multiwavelength campaign on Mrk 421: Variability and correlation studies
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +270
We performed a 4.5-month multi-instrument campaign (from radio to VHE gamma rays) on Mrk421 between January 2009 and June 2009, which included VLBA, F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, Swift, RXTE…
MAGIC observations of MWC 656, the only known Be/BH system
J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +149
Context: MWC 656 has recently been established as the first observationally detected high-mass X-ray binary system containing a Be star and a black hole (BH). The system has been a…
Unprecedented study of the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during flaring activity in March 2010
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +251
A flare from the TeV blazar Mrk 421, occurring in March 2010, was observed for 13 consecutive days from radio to very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-rays with MAGIC, VERITAS,…
Multiwavelength observations of Mrk 501 in 2008
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +256
Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been extensively studied since its first VHE detection in 1996. Our goal is to characterize in detail the source gam…
Probing the very-high-energy gamma-ray spectral curvature in the blazar PG 1553+113 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +152
PG 1553+113 is a very-high-energy (VHE, ) -ray emitter classified as a BL Lac object. Its redshift is constrained by intergalactic absorption lines in the r…

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, A. Allafort +288
The discovery of rapidly variable Very High Energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission from 4C +21.35 (PKS 1222+216) by MAGIC on 2010 June 17, triggered by the high activity dete…
Search for Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays from the z = 0.896 Quasar 4C +55.17 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +157
The bright gamma-ray quasar 4C +55.17 is a distant source () with a hard spectrum at GeV energies as observed by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the {\it Fermi}…
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…
