Optimized dark matter searches in deep observations of Segue 1 with MAGIC

J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +156

We present the results of stereoscopic observations of the satellite galaxy Segue 1 with the MAGIC Telescopes, carried out between 2011 and 2013. With almost 160 hours of good-qual…

Observations of VHE gamma-ray binaries with the MAGIC Telescopes

A. López-Oramas, O. Blanch Bigas, J. Cortina +10

Several binary systems, composed of a star and a compact object, have been detected in the GeV-TeV range. Several systems have been observed but only a handful of sources have show…

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…

The MAGIC telescopes DAQ software and the on-the-fly online analysis client

Diego Tescaro, Alicia López-Oramas, Abelardo Moralejo +2

In this contribution we describe the design of the Data AcQuisition (DAQ) and online analysis software of the MAGIC telescopes after the 2012 upgrade. Although the final stereo tri…

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…

Atmospheric Aerosols at the MAGIC Site

Daniel Garrido, Markus Gaug, Michele Doro +3

We investigate the performance of the MAGIC telescopes under three simulated atmospheric conditions: an increased aerosol content in the lower part of the troposphere, the presence…

The IFAE/UAB and LUPM Raman LIDARs for Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory

A. López-Oramas, O. Abril, O. Blanch Bigas +8

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. It will reach a sensitivity and an energy resolution with no precendent in v…

Towards a full Atmospheric Calibration system for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

M. Doro, M. Gaug, O. Blanch +4

The current generation of Cherenkov telescopes is mainly limited in their gamma-ray energy and flux reconstruction by uncertainties in the determination of atmospheric parameters.…

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)…

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…
