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…
Cherenkov Telescope Array Contributions to the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2017)
F. Acero, B. S. Acharya, V. Acín Portella +1137
List of contributions from the Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium presented at the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference, July 12-20 2017, Busan, Korea.
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…
MAGIC Contributions to the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC2017)
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +143
MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov) is a system of two 17 m diameter, F/1.03 Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). They are dedicated to the observation of…
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…
Baseline telescope layouts of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
P. Cumani, T. Hassan, L. Arrabito +4
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation of ground-based instrument for Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will improve the sensitivity of current tele…
Search for very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the microquasar Cygnus X-1 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +144
The microquasar Cygnus X-1 displays the two typical soft and hard X-ray states of a black-hole transient. During the latter, Cygnus X-1 shows a one-sided relativistic radio-jet. Re…
MAGIC observations of the microquasar V404 Cygni during the 2015 outburst
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +142
The microquasar V404 Cygni underwent a series of outbursts in 2015, June 15-31, during which its flux in hard X-rays (20-40 keV) reached about 40 times the Crab Nebula flux. Becaus…
Observation of the Black Widow B1957+20 millisecond pulsar binary system with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +145
B1957+20 is a millisecond pulsar located in a black widow type compact binary system with a low mass stellar companion. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the companion star w…
Monte Carlo Performance Studies for the Site Selection of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
T. Hassan, L. Arrabito, K. Bernlöhr +13
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the next generation of ground-based instruments for very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy, aimed at improving on the sensitivity…
Prospects for CTA observations of the young SNR RX J1713.7-3946
The CTA Consortium, :, F. Acero +381
We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX~J1713.73946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovere…
