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

The Agile Collaboration, Webt Collaboration, Magic Collaboration +2

We present optical, X-ray, high energy ( GeV) and very high energy ( GeV; VHE) observations of the high-frequency peaked blazar Mrk 421 taken betwee…

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…

Upper Limits on the VHE gamma-ray Emission from the Willman 1 Satellite Galaxy with the MAGIC telescope

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

We present the result of the observation of the ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Willman 1 performed with the 17 m MAGIC telescope during 15.5 hr between March and May 2008. No significant…

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…

First bounds on the high-energy emission from isolated Wolf-Rayet binary systems

MAGIC Collaboration, E. Aliu

High-energy gamma-ray emission is theoretically expected to arise in tight binary star systems (with high mass loss and high velocity winds), although the evidence of this relation…

Measuring Baryon Acoustic Oscillations along the line of sight with photometric redshifs: the PAU survey

N. Benitez, E. Gaztanaga, R. Miquel +24

Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) provide a standard ruler of known physical length, making it a promising probe of the nature of dark energy. The detection of BAO requires measur…
