Constraints on the VHE counterpart of two binary black hole mergers observed by the MAGIC and CTAO LST-1 telescopes
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +439
We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of two binary black hole merger candidates, GW240615_113620 and GW241125_010116, performed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imagi…
Prospects for the detection of gamma rays using Cherenkov telescopes enhanced by a ground array observatory
C. Alispach, A. Araudo, A. Bakalová +67
We study through detailed simulated data and their optimized analysis the expected performance of the Single-Mirror Small-Size imaging atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (SST-1M) pot…
Extreme Blazars Observed with MAGIC: Second Catalog Release
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +353
Extremely high-peaked BL Lac objects - also named extreme blazars - are among the most energetic and persistent extragalactic accelerators in the Universe, defined by a synchrotron…
Detection of the distant quasar OP 313 with the first Large-Sized Telescope of CTAO
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +412
In December 2023, the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) detected for the first time VHE -ray emission from the FSRQ OP~313 becoming the furthest blazar ever observed at V…
VHE gamma-ray intranight variability from BL Lacertae during the extreme flaring state of 2022
K. Abe, S. Abe, A. Abhishek +297
BL Lacertae (BL Lac), the archetypal blazar of its subclass and one of the most studied blazars in the last decades, has undergone a series of major multi-wavelength outbursts sinc…
GRB 221009A: Observations with LST-1 of CTAO and Implications for Structured Jets in Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
LST Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +328
GRB 221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) observed to date. Extensive observations of its afterglow emission across the electromagnetic spectrum were performed, providing…
