MAGIC discovery of VHE Emission from the FSRQ PKS 1222+21
J. Aleksić, L. Antonelli, P. Antoranz +146
Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 1222+21 (4C 21.35, z=0.432) was detected with the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes during a short…
A search for Very High Energy gamma-ray emission from Scorpius X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, E. A. Alvarez +150
The acceleration of particles up to GeV or higher energies in microquasars has been the subject of considerable theoretical and observational efforts in the past few years. Sco X-1…
FACT -- the First Cherenkov Telescope using a G-APD Camera for TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy (HEAD 2010)
H. Anderhub, M. Backes, A. Biland +33
Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) bear the potential to significantly improve the sensitivity of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). We are currently building the Firs…
Observations of the Blazar 3C 66A with the MAGIC Telescopes in Stereoscopic Mode
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, L. A. Antonelli +153
We report new observations of the intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lacertae object 3C 66A with the MAGIC telescopes. The data sample we use were taken in 2009 December and 2010 Jan…
Multiwavelength Observations of Mrk 501 in 2008
D. Kranich, D. Paneque, A. Cesarini +16
The well-studied VHE (E >100 GeV) blazar Mrk 501 was observed between March and May 2008 as part of an extensive multiwavelength observation campaign including radio, optical, X-ra…
