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…
The performance of the TA4 surface detector array: 4.3 years of the first-half expansion
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126
The Telescope Array (TA) experiment aims to reveal the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by observing air showers using surface detectors (SDs), which spread over an…
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…
Searching for EeV photons with Telescope Array Surface Detector and neural networks
Telescope Array Collaboration, R. U. Abbasi, T. Abu-Zayyad +126
Ultra-high-energy photons play an important role in probing astrophysical models and beyond-Standard-Model scenarios. We report updated limits on the diffuse photon flux using Tele…
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…
