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…

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…
Very-High-Energy Gamma Rays from a Distant Quasar: How Transparent Is the Universe?
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope MAGIC, designed for a low-energy threshold, has detected very-high-energy gamma rays from a giant flare of the distant Quasi-Stellar R…
Periodic very high energy gamma-ray emission from LS I +61 303 observed with the MAGIC telescope
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
The MAGIC collaboration has recently reported the discovery of gamma-ray emission from the binary system LS I +61 303 in the TeV energy region. Here we present new observational re…
Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Observations of a Strong Flaring Activity in M87 in 2008 February
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Albert
M87 is the only known non blazar radio galaxy to emit very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. During a monitoring program of M87, a rapid flare in VHE gamma-rays was detected by the MAG…
MAGIC observations of the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130
J. Albert
We observed the first known very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting unidentified source, TeV J2032+4130, for 94 hours with the MAGIC telescope. The source was detected with a sig…
