Recent Results from the MAGIC Telescopes

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.

Limits to dark matter annihilation cross-section from a combined analysis of MAGIC and Fermi-LAT observations of dwarf satellite galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present the first joint analysis of gamma-ray data from the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes and the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to search for gamma-ray signals from dark matter annihilation in dwarf satellite galaxies.

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 ...

Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory: Die Zukunft der Gammaastronomie

open access: yesPhysik in unserer Zeit, EarlyView.
Im Jahr 1989 hat das Wipple‐Observatorium die erste Quelle hochenergetischer Gammastrahlung entdeckt. 2002 waren dann sechs Quellen bekannt, 2024 schon mehr als 300. Und das ist immer noch lediglich die Spitze des Eisbergs in der jungen Geschichte der Gammaastronomie.

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 ...

Alternative Approaches for Estimating Highest‐Density Regions

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary Among the variety of statistical intervals, highest‐density regions (HDRs) stand out for their ability to effectively summarise a distribution or sample, unveiling its distinctive and salient features. An HDR represents the minimum size set that satisfies a certain probability coverage, and current methods for their computation require ...
