THE TIMING SYSTEM OF THE MAGIC TELESCOPE
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2005The Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Čerenkov Telescope (MAGIC) will be the first ground-based Čerenkov telescope able to detect photons with E > 30 GeV . This region of the electromagnetic spectrum, yet unexplored, is fundamental for pulsar physics since theoretical models foreseen a cut-off in the pulsed emission at tens of GeV.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2000
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 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 ...

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

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.

The reflective surface of the MAGIC telescope
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2008Abstract The atmospheric Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is operating since late 2003 on the Canary island of La Palma. Its 17 m diameter mirror is composed of 964 square all-aluminum mirrors of ∼ 0.5 m side, making up a parabola of 236 m 2 area.

The upgraded MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2014Abstract The MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes underwent a major upgrade in 2011 and 2012. A new 1039-pixel camera and a larger area digital trigger system were installed in MAGIC-I, making it essentially identical to the newer MAGIC-II telescope. The readout systems of both telescopes were also upgraded, with fully programmable receiver boards and DRS4 ...

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.

The MAGIC telescope reflecting surface
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2004Abstract The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov telescope will achieve an energy threshold lower than any other present IACT (E Th ∼30 Gev ) thanks to the largest reflecting surface, a 17 m diameter, f/1, tessellated parabolic reflector.

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 ...
