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…
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…
Molecular absorption of Cherenkov light at CTAO
G. Voutsinas, M. Dalchenko, M. Gaug +3
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is the next-generation observatory for high energy γ-ray astronomy with unprecedented sensitivity and accuracy. Accurate estimatio…
