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…
FACT - Long-term Monitoring of Bright TeV-Blazars
D. Dorner, A. Biland, T. Bretz +21
Since October 2011, the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is operated successfully on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from the proof of principle for the use of G-APDs in…
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…
Contemporaneous observations of the radio galaxy NGC 1275 from radio to very high energy gamma-rays
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +157
The radio galaxy NGC 1275, recently identified as a very high energy (VHE, >100 GeV) gamma-ray emitter by MAGIC, is one of the few non-blazar AGN detected in the VHE regime. In ord…
FACT - Threshold prediction for higher duty cycle and improved scheduling
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
FACT - How stable are the silicon photon detectors?
T. Bretz, A. Biland, J. Buß +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). The use of Silicon devices promise a higher photon detection eff…
FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope: Status and Results
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). It is built on the mount of the HEGRA CT3 telescope, still locat…
FACT: Towards Robotic Operation of an Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope
A. Biland, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) became operational at La Palma in October 2011. Since summer 2012, due to very smooth and stable operation, it is the first telescope of…
FACT - Long-term stability and observations during strong Moon light
M. L. Knoetig, A. Biland, T. Bretz +22
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is the first Cherenkov telescope equipped with a camera made of silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). Since October 2011, it is reg…
Rapid and multi-band variability of the TeV-bright active nucleus of the galaxy IC 310
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, L. A. Antonelli +161
Context. The radio galaxy IC 310 has recently been identified as a gamma-ray emitter based on observations at GeV energies with Fermi-LAT and at very high energies (VHE, E>100GeV)…
Design and Operation of FACT -- The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is designed to detect cosmic gamma-rays with energies from several hundred GeV up to about 10 TeV using the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov…
Discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the blazar 1ES 1727+502 with the MAGIC Telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, L. A. Antonelli +155
Motivated by the Costamante & Ghisellini (2002) predictions we investigated if the blazar 1ES 1727+502 (z=0.055) is emitting very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma rays. We observ…
