Scientific Highlights from Observations of Active Galactic Nuclei with the MAGIC Telescope
Since 2004, the MAGIC gamma-ray telescope has newly discovered 6 TeV blazars. The total set of 13 MAGIC-detected active galactic nuclei includes well-studied objects at other wavelengths like Markarian 501 and the giant radio galaxy M87, but also the ...

In Mariana Enriquez's Nuestra parte de noche (Our Share of Night), the insistence on narrating putrid wounds and hewn limbs seeks to reinvigorate stagnant tropes, to highlight the corporeal cruelty obfuscated by the ghostly. This article explores the association between textures and emotions, specifically questioning what it can lead to when remains ...

A Novel Flexible Kernel Density Estimator for Multimodal Probability Density Functions
ABSTRACT Estimating probability density functions (PDFs) is critical in data analysis, particularly for complex multimodal distributions. traditional kernel density estimator (KDE) methods often face challenges in accurately capturing multimodal structures due to their uniform weighting scheme, leading to mode loss and degraded estimation accuracy ...

Study of Angular Resolution Using Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique
Angular resolution is crucial for the detailed study of gamma-ray sources and current Cherenkov telescopes (e.g., HESS, MAGIC, and VERITAS) that operate below tens of TeV.

Prospects for Observations of Pulsars and Pulsar Wind Nebulae with CTA
The last few years have seen a revolution in very-high gamma-ray astronomy (VHE; E>100 GeV) driven largely by a new generation of Cherenkov telescopes (namely the H.E.S.S. telescope array, the MAGIC and MAGIC-II large telescopes and the VERITAS telescope

Grimoire of the MAGIC telescopes
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 ...

Status and First Results of the Magic Telescope [PDF]
The 17 m MAGIC Cherenkov telescope for gamma ray astronomy between 30 and 300 GeV started operations in its final configuration in October 2003 and is currently well into its calibration phase. Here I report on its present status and its first gamma ray source detections.

ATMOSFEAR: Horror of nature and the nature of horror in Algernon Blackwood
Abstract The impact that the stories of Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951) have had on the literature of the uncanny can hardly be overestimated. However, there is almost no research on Blackwood's life and work. Against the background of a presentation of themes and motifs of Blackwood's narrative œuvre, this article develops a characteristic of his ...

AGN Observations with the MAGIC Telescope [PDF]
MAGIC is presently the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope with the largest reflecting surface and the lowest energy threshold. MAGIC concluded its first year of regular observation in April 2006. During this period and the preceding commissioning phase, 25 Active Galactic Nuclei have been observed and VHE gamma-ray emission has been confirmed by 4
