Very-high-energy gamma-rays from the Universe's middle age: detection of the z=0.940 blazar PKS 1441+25 with MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +246

The flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 1441+25 at a redshift of z = 0.940 is detected between 40 and 250 GeV with a significance of 25.5 σ using the MAGIC telescopes. Together with the…

Teraelectronvolt pulsed emission from the Crab pulsar detected by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +139

Aims: To investigate the extension of the very-high-energy spectral tail of the Crab pulsar at energies above 400 GeV. Methods: We analyzed 320 hours of good quality data of…

Very-high-energy γ-ray observations of novae and dwarf novae with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +148

Context. In the last five years the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument detected GeV γ-ray emission from five novae. The GeV emission can be interpreted in terms of an inve…

MAGIC detection of short-term variability of the high-peaked BL Lac object 1ES 0806+524

MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +152

The high-frequency-peaked BL Lac (HBL) 1ES 0806+524 (z = 0.138) was discovered in VHE rays in 2008. Until now, the broad-band spectrum of 1ES 0806+524 has been only poorly char…

MAGIC observations of MWC 656, the only known Be/BH system

J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +149

Context: MWC 656 has recently been established as the first observationally detected high-mass X-ray binary system containing a Be star and a black hole (BH). The system has been a…
