First bounds on the very high energy gamma-ray emission from Arp 220 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Using the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescope (MAGIC), we have observed the nearest ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Arp 220 for about 15 hours. No significant signal was detected within the dedicated amount of observation time.

Upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes

open access: yes, 2013
The MAGIC telescopes are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma. With 17m diameter mirror dishes and ultra-fast electronics, they provide an energy threshold as low as 50 GeV for observations at low zenith angles.

Characterisation of the Atmosphere in Very High Energy Gamma-Astronomy for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes

open access: yesUniverse
Ground-based observations of Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays from extreme astrophysical sources are significantly influenced by atmospheric conditions.

Long-term multi-wavelength variability and correlation study of Markarian 421 from 2007 to 2009 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study the multi-band variability and correlations of the TeV blazar Mrk 421 on year time scales, which can bring additional insight on the processes responsible for its broadband emission.

Galactic Center Observations with CTAO LST-1 [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
Very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of the central part of the Milky Way Galaxy allow for morphological study of cosmic-ray propagation around the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. An interpretation of the diffuse gamma-ray component, which spans a few

Grid services for the MAGIC experiment

open access: yes, 2005
Exploring signals from the outer space has become an observational science under fast expansion. On the basis of its advanced technology the MAGIC telescope is the natural building block for the first large scale ground based high energy gamma-ray ...

Broadband Multi-wavelength Properties of M87 during the 2017 Event Horizon Telescope Campaign

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
In 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration succeeded in capturing the first direct image of the center of the M87 galaxy. The asymmetric ring morphology and size are consistent with theoretical expectations for a weakly accreting ...

A double‐crystal bent Laue parallel‐beam compressor

open access: yesJournal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
An application of bent Laue crystals as X‐ray optics to increase beam intensity in bending‐magnet beamlines at synchrotron facilities is presented.We demonstrate the ability to manipulate a synchrotron X‐ray beam's size, maintaining a nearly parallel beam, by `compressing' it horizontally using a pair of cylindrically bent Laue crystals.

Light travel time effects in blazar flares

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
In this study, a model for light travel time effects for emission from a plasma blob in a blazar jet is presented. This calculation could be incorporated into more complex models with particle acceleration and radiation mechanisms, but as presented here,

The ASTRI mini-array within the future Cherenkov Telescope Array

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a large collaborative effort aimed at the design and operation of an observatory dedicated to very high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics in the energy range from a few tens of GeV to above 100 TeV, which will yield ...
