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…
AGILE Observations of the Gravitational-wave Source GW170817: Constraining Gamma-Ray Emission from a NS-NS Coalescence
F. Verrecchia, M. Tavani, I. Donnarumma +39
The LIGO-Virgo Collaboration (LVC) detected, on 2017 August 17, an exceptional gravitational-wave (GW) event temporally consistent within with the GRB 1708117A…
Science with e-ASTROGAM (A space mission for MeV-GeV gamma-ray astrophysics)
A. De Angelis, V. Tatischeff, I. A. Grenier +248
e-ASTROGAM (enhanced ASTROGAM) is a breakthrough Observatory space mission, with a detector composed by a Silicon tracker, a calorimeter, and an anticoincidence system, dedicated t…

List of contributions from the Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium presented at the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference, July 12-20 2017, Busan, Korea.
GRAWITA: VLT Survey Telescope observations of the gravitational wave sources GW150914 and GW151226
E. Brocato, M. Branchesi, E. Cappellaro +49
We report the results of deep optical follow-up surveys of the first two gravitational-wave sources, GW150914 and GW151226, done by the GRAvitational Wave Inaf TeAm Collaboration (…
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…
Extragalactic gamma-ray background from AGN winds and star-forming galaxies in cosmological galaxy formation models
A. Lamastra, N. Menci, F. Fiore +4
We derive the contribution to the extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGB) from AGN winds and star-forming galaxies by including a physical model for the gamma-ray emission produce…
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…
AGILE detection of a candidate gamma-ray precursor to the ICECUBE-160731 neutrino event
F. Lucarelli, C. Pittori, F. Verrecchia +18
On July 31st, 2016, the ICECUBE collaboration reported the detection of a high-energy starting event induced by an astrophysical neutrino. We report here about the search for a gam…
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…
