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…

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…
