Black hole lightning due to particle acceleration at subhorizon scales
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +151
Supermassive black holes with masses of millions to billions of solar masses are commonly found in the centers of galaxies. Astronomers seek to image jet formation using radio inte…
Unprecedented study of the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during flaring activity in March 2010
The MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +251
A flare from the TeV blazar Mrk 421, occurring in March 2010, was observed for 13 consecutive days from radio to very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-rays with MAGIC, VERITAS,…
First broadband characterization and redshift determination of the VHE blazar MAGIC J2001+439
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +167
We aim to characterize the broadband emission from 2FGL J2001.1+4352, which has been associated with the unknown-redshift blazar MG4 J200112+4352. Based on its gamma-ray spectral p…
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…
Probing the very-high-energy gamma-ray spectral curvature in the blazar PG 1553+113 with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +152
PG 1553+113 is a very-high-energy (VHE, ) -ray emitter classified as a BL Lac object. Its redshift is constrained by intergalactic absorption lines in the r…
MAGIC search for VHE -ray emission from AE Aquarii in a multiwavelength context
J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +152
It has been claimed that the nova-like cataclysmic variable (CV) AE Aquarii (AE Aqr) is a very-high-energy (VHE, 100 GeV) source both on observational and theoretical grounds.…
Measurement of the Crab Nebula spectrum over three decades in energy with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +150
The MAGIC stereoscopic system collected 69 hours of Crab Nebula data between October 2009 and April 2011. Analysis of this data sample using the latest improvements in the MAGIC st…
Discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the pulsar wind nebula 3C 58 by MAGIC
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +145
The pulsar wind nebula (PWN) 3C 58 is one of the historical very-high-energy (VHE; E>100 GeV) gamma-ray source candidates. It is energized by one of the highest spin-down power pul…
Detection of bridge emission above 50 GeV from the Crab pulsar with the MAGIC telescopes
J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +153
The Crab pulsar is the only astronomical pulsed source detected at very high energy (VHE, E>100GeV) gamma-rays. The emission mechanism of VHE pulsation is not yet fully understood,…
MAGIC reveals a complex morphology within the unidentified gamma-ray source HESS J1857+026
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +158
HESS J1857+026 is an extended TeV gamma-ray source that was discovered by H.E.S.S. as part of its Galactic plane survey. Given its broadband spectral energy distribution and its sp…
MAGIC gamma-ray and multifrequency observations of flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1510-089 in early 2012
MAGIC Collaboration, J. Aleksić, S. Ansoldi +218
Among more than fifty blazars detected in very high energy (VHE, E>100GeV) gamma-rays, only three belong to the subclass of Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs). MAGIC observed FSRQ…
