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…

F. Acero, B. S. Acharya, V. Acín Portella +1137
List of contributions from the Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium presented at the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference, July 12-20 2017, Busan, Korea.
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 source population studies at very high energies in the Cherenkov Telescope Array era
T. Hassan, A. Domínguez, J. Lefaucheur +3
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the next generation ground-based -ray observatory. It will provide an order of magnitude better sensitivity and an extended energy coverag…
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…
Performance of the MAGIC telescopes under moonlight
D. Guberman, P. Colin
MAGIC, a system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, achieves its best performance under dark conditions, i.e. in absence of moonlight or twilight. Since operating the…
Baseline telescope layouts of the Cherenkov Telescope Array
P. Cumani, T. Hassan, L. Arrabito +4
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will be the next generation of ground-based instrument for Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will improve the sensitivity of current tele…
Measurement of the EBL through a combined likelihood analysis of gamma-ray observations of blazars with the MAGIC telescopes
Abelardo Moralejo, Alberto Domínguez, Vandad Fallah Ramazani +7
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the radiation accumulated through the history of the Universe in the wavelength range from the ultraviolet to the far infrared. Local fo…
MAGIC sensitivity to millisecond-duration optical pulses
T. Hassan, J. Hoang, M. López +6
The MAGIC telescopes are a system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) designed to observe very high energy (VHE) gamma rays above ~50 GeV. However, as IACTs are…
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…
Prospects for the detection of high-energy (E>25 GeV) Fermi pulsars with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
A. Burtovoi, T. Y. Saito, L. Zampieri +1
Around 160 gamma-ray pulsars were discovered by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since 2008. The most energetic of them, 12 objects with emission above 25 GeV, are suitable can…
Observation of the Black Widow B1957+20 millisecond pulsar binary system with the MAGIC telescopes
MAGIC Collaboration, M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi +145
B1957+20 is a millisecond pulsar located in a black widow type compact binary system with a low mass stellar companion. The interaction of the pulsar wind with the companion star w…
