Indirect dark matter searches in the dwarf satellite galaxy Ursa Major II with the MAGIC Telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

The dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Major II (UMaII) is believed to be one of the most dark-matter dominated systems among the Milky Way satellites and represents a suitable target fo…

Nature of the low-energy, γ-like background for the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Julian Sitarek, Dorota Sobczyńska, Michał Szanecki +3

The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) project is expected to provide unprecedented sensitivity in the low-energy (<~100 GeV) range for Cherenkov telescopes. Most of the rema…

Performance of the Cherenkov Telescope Array

G. Maier, L. Arrabito, K. Bernlöhr +4

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the world's largest and by far most sensitive observatory for high-energy gamma rays. It will be capable of detecting gamma rays from ex…

Constraining Lorentz invariance violation using the Crab Pulsar emission observed up to TeV energies by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +142

Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry at energies on the order of the Planck energy or lower is predicted by many quantum gravity theories, implying non-trivial dispersion relat…

Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight

D. Guberman, P. Colin

MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
