An overview of the design parameters and the status of the 17 m O MAGIC telescope project will be given. During phase I the telescope will reach a threshold of 30 GeV and a sensitivity of 6.10−11/cm2 sec (5 sigma, 50 hours on source). ‘First light’ is expected in mid 2001 and observations will begin in 2002. The telescope will be installed at the HEGRA

The Trigger System of the MAGIC Telescope
IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 2007The MAGIC telescope aims at the detection of very low energy gamma rays (E > 10 GeV) through the atmospheric emission of Cherenkov light. The high background rate originated by the night sky background (NSB), muons, hadronic showers and bright stars sets a serious challenge to this goal.

DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCES OF THE MAGIC TELESCOPE
Advanced Technology and Particle Physics, 2002The MAGIC Collaboration is building an imaging Čerenkov telescope at La Palma site (2200 m a.s.l.), in the Canary Islands, to observe gamma rays in the hundred-GeV region. The MAGIC telescope, with its reflecting parabolic dish, 17 m in diameter, and a two-level pattern trigger designed to cope with severe trigger rates, is the Čerenkov telescope ...

The Florian Goebel Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescopes are two, 17 m diameter telescopes designed to have high sensitivity at low energies and fast response to variable phenomena. This chapter is devoted to the description of technical properties of the MAGIC Telescopes, as well as of the standard observational procedures ...

Cherenkov Telescopes and MAGIC
2019The first source of very-high-energy (vhe) gamma rays, the Crab nebula, was firmly detected by the Whipple collaboration in the 1980s [1]. Their pioneering instrument and analysis method became the basic concept in the field of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (iacts) and paved the way for todays third generation telescopes.

Multiwavelengths Observations with the MAGIC Telescope
Chinese Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2003This paper reports the observability of distant gamma-sources using groundbased imaging air-Cherenkov telescopes with low energy thresholds like the MAGIC telescope. In particular we focus on extragalactic sources at low and high redshift which are emitting gamma photons up to very high energies. AGN for example are one of the most promising candidates

Pulsar observations with the MAGIC Telescope
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007Pulsars were detected by EGRET up to energies below 20 GeV. Observations at higher energies with ground‐based experiments, including MAGIC, so far failed to detect pulsars, indicating a sharp cutoff of the pulsed emission. Here we present, in particular, the results of the search for very high γ‐ray emission from the pulsar PSR B1951+32.

Technical Solutions for the MAGIC Telescope
Astroparticle, Particle and Space Physics, Detectors and Medical Physics Applications, 2008The atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canarian island La Palma. The telescope’s 17 m diameter mirror is composed of 964 light weight, square all- aluminum mirrors of 234 m2 total area, which allows to lower the energy thresh- old to a value far beyond that of past generation ...

The mirrors for the MAGIC telescopes
2005The MAGIC Telescope has the largest reflecting surface, among other Cherenkov detectors, in order to have an energy threshold well below 100 GeV. In this contribution, we describe the technology used for the production and the optical qualities of the surface currently mounted onto the telescope.
