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…

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…

Mechanism for reduction of the afterpulsing rate of PMTs

Kai Morita, Mitsunari Takahashi, Habib Ahammad Mondal +7

Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are used in Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) to detect Cherenkov light produced by air showers induced by gamma rays in the atmosphere.…

MAGIC observations of NGC 4278. The first low-luminosity radio galaxy with compact jets detected at TeV energies

S. Abe, J. Abhir, V. A. Acciari +189

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) Collaboration has recently reported the first detection at TeV energies of a low-luminosity radio galaxy, NGC 4278. The aim…
