Exploring high-energy processes in binary systems with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

J. M. Paredes, W. Bednarek, P. Bordas +20

Several types of binary systems have been detected up to now at high and very high gamma-ray energies, including microquasars, young pulsars around massive stars and colliding wind…

Insights Into the High-Energy Gamma-ray Emission of Markarian 501 from Extensive Multifrequency Observations in the Fermi Era

LAT collaboration, A. A. Abdo et al., the MAGIC collaboration +6

We report on the gamma-ray activity of the blazar Mrk 501 during the first 480 days of Fermi operation. We find that the average LAT gamma-ray spectrum of Mrk 501 can be well descr…

The GeV to TeV connection in the environment of SNR IC 443

Diego F. Torres, Ana Y. Rodriguez Marrero, Elsa de Cea del Pozo

We have recently interpreted the source MAGIC J0616+225 as a result of delayed TeV emission of cosmic-rays diffusing from IC 443 and interacting with a cloud in the foreground of t…

Model analysis of the very high energy detections of the starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253

E. de Cea del Pozo, D. F. Torres, A. Y. Rodriguez +1

In the light of recent results detecting the nearest starburst galaxies M 82 and NGC 253 at very high energy (VHE), we present a multi-wavelength model succesfully explaining their…

Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy Gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy

The VERITAS Collaboration, the VLBA 43 GHz M 87 Monitoring Team, the H. E. S. S. Collaboration +1

The accretion of matter onto a massive black hole is believed to feed the relativistic plasma jets found in many active galactic nuclei (AGN). Although some AGN accelerate particle…

Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 During Outburst

The VERITAS Collaboration, I. de la Calle Perez, A. Ibarra +2

We report on the results of two coordinated multiwavelength campaigns that focused on the blazar Markarian 421 during its 2006 and 2008 outbursts. These campaigns obtained UV and X…

The June 2008 flare of Markarian 421 from optical to TeV energies

R. M. Wagner, I. Donnarumma, J. Grube +6

We present optical to very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of Mrk 421 between 2008 May 24 and June 23. A high-energy (HE) gamma-ray signal was detected by AGILE-GRID durin…

The GeV to TeV view of SNR IC443: predictions for Fermi

Ana Y. Rodriguez Marrero, Diego F. Torres, Elsa de Cea Del Pozo

We present a theoretical model that explains the high energy phenomenology of the neighborhood of SNR IC 443, as observed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC)…

Improving the performance of the single-dish Cherenkov telescope MAGIC through the use of signal timing

MAGIC Collaboration

The Cherenkov light flashes produced by Extensive Air Showers are very short in time. A high bandwidth and fast digitizing readout, therefore, can minimize the influence of the bac…

Discovery of a very high energy gamma-ray signal from the 3C 66A/B region

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

The MAGIC telescope observed the region around the distant blazar 3C 66A for 54.2 h in 2007 August-December. The observations resulted in the discovery of a gamma-ray source at ene…

Observation of Pulsed Gamma-rays Above 25 GeV from the Crab Pulsar with MAGIC

The MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

One fundamental question about pulsars concerns the mechanism of their pulsed electromagnetic emission. Measuring the high-end region of a pulsar's spectrum would shed light on thi…
