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…

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…

Novel Photo Multiplier Tubes for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Project

Takeshi Toyama, Razmik Mirzoyan, Hugh Dickinson +12

Currently the standard light sensors for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes are the classical photo multiplier tubes that are using bialkali photo cathodes. About eight years…

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…
