Recent Results from the MAGIC Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope) is a system of two 17 meters Cherenkov telescopes, sensitive to very high energy (VHE; $> 10^{11}$ eV) gamma radiation above an energy threshold of 50 GeV.

Grimoire1 of the MAGIC telescopes [PDF]

open access: diamond12th Cosmic Ray International Seminar - CRIS 2022 12/09/2022 - 16/09/2022 Napoli, Italy, 2023
The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes are a system of two Cherenkov telescopes located on the Canary island of La Palma (Spain), at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, and operating in stereo mode since 2009. Their design and dedicated trigger system allows to reach an energy threshold of 50 GeV, which can be lowered ...

The MAGIC Telescope - prospects for GRB research [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 1999
The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope collaboration is constructing a large Cherenkov telescope (17 m diameter) for the exploration of the gamma-ray energy regime above 10 GeV with high sensitivity. One of the highlights in the science program of this future observatory are the plans for fast follow-up observations of of ...

Technical Performance of the MAGIC Telescopes [PDF]

open access: green, 2009
The MAGIC-I telescope is the largest single-dish Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope in the world. A second telescope, MAGIC-II, will operate in coincidence with MAGIC-I in stereoscopic mode. MAGIC-II is a clone of MAGIC-I, but with a number of significant improvements, namely a highly pixelized camera with a wider trigger area, improved optical ...

Protons Spectrum from MAGIC Telescopes data [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021), 2021
Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) are designed to detect cosmic gamma rays. As a by-product, IACTs detect Cherenkov flashes generated by millions of hadronic air showers every night. We present the proton energy spectrum from several hundred GeV to several hundred TeV, retrieved from the hadron induced showers detected by the MAGIC ...

Intensity interferometry with the MAGIC telescopes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021), 2021
Due to their large mirror size, fast response to single photons, sensitivity and telescope baselines in the order of 100 m, Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes are ideally suited to perform intensity interferometry observations. In 2019 a test readout setup was installed in the two 17-m diameter MAGIC telescopes to allow performing interferometry ...

The MAGIC telescope [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Geophysics, 2005
MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope) is presently the largest ground-based gamma ray telescope. MAGIC has been taking data regularly since October 2004 at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on the island of La Palma. In this paper the MAGIC telescope status, its performances and some preliminary results on observed gamma ray ...

Probing photon-ALP oscillations from the flat spectrum radio quasar 4C+21.35

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2022
Flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) is the most luminous blazar at the GeV energies. In this paper, we probe the photon-axion-like particle (ALP) oscillation effect on the latest very-high-energy (VHE) γ-ray observations of the FSRQ 4C+21.35 (PKS 1222+216).

An interacting molecular cloud scenario for production of gamma-rays and neutrinos from MAGIC J1835-069, and MAGIC J1837-073

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021
Recently the MAGIC telescope observed three TeV gamma-ray extended sources in the galactic plane in the neighborhood of radio SNR G24.7+0.6. Among them, the PWN HESS J1837-069 was detected earlier by the HESS observatory during its first galactic plane ...
