Discovery of TeV -ray emission from the neighbourhood of the supernova remnant G24.7+0.6 by MAGIC

MAGIC Collaboration, V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi +151

SNR G24.7+0.6 is a 9.5 kyrs radio and -ray supernova remnant evolving in a dense medium. In the GeV regime, SNR G24.7+0.6 (3FHL\,J1834.1--0706e/FGES\,J1834.1--0706) shows a hard…
