The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +162
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. The telescopes are designed to measure Cherenkov light from…
The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksic, S. Ansoldi +163
MAGIC is a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma, Spain. During summer 2011 and 2012 it underwent a series of upgrades, in…
On the possiblity of using vertically pointing Central Laser Facilities to calibrate the Cherenkov Telescope Array
Markus Gaug
A Central Laser Facility is a system composed of a laser placed at a certain distance from a light-detector array, emitting fast light pulses, typically in the vertical direction,…
Atmospheric Monitoring for the MAGIC Telescopes
M. Gaug, O. Blanch, D. Dorner +13
The monitoring of the atmosphere is very relevant for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. Adverse weather conditions (strong wind, high humidity, etc.) may damage the telesco…

K. Bernlöhr, G. Bellassai, O. Blanch +70
A 3-day international workshop on atmospheric monitoring and calibration for high-energy astroparticle detectors, with a view towards next-generation facilities. The atmosphere is…
A novel LIDAR-based Atmospheric Calibration Method for Improving the Data Analysis of MAGIC
Christian Fruck, Markus Gaug, Roberta Zanin +4
A new method for analyzing the returns of the custom-made 'micro'-LIDAR system, which is operated along with the two MAGIC telescopes, allows to apply atmospheric corrections in th…
Status and motivation of Raman LIDARs development for the CTA Observatory
M. Doro, M. Gaug, J. Pallotta +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes. It would reach unprecedented sensitivity and energy resolution in very-high-…
