Journal ArticleDOI

The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part II: A performance study using observations of the Crab Nebula

Jelena Aleksić, +164 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the MAGIC-I camera and its trigger system were replaced with a new one for low and medium zenith angles to assess the key performance parameters of MAGIC stereo system for point-like sources with Crab Nebula-like spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

Max Ludwig Ahnen, +155 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first joint analysis of gamma-ray data from the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes and the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) to search for gamma signals from dark matter annihilation in dwarf satellite galaxies, and obtained limits on the annihilation cross-section for dark matter particle masses between 10 GeV and 100 TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

The major upgrade of the MAGIC telescopes, Part I: The hardware improvements and the commissioning of the system

Jelena Aleksić, +169 more
TL;DR: The MAGIC telescopes as mentioned in this paper are two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) located on the Canary island of La Palma, Spain, which are designed to measure Cherennikov light from air showers initiated by gamma rays in the energy regime from around 50GeV to more than 50TeV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Black hole lightning due to particle acceleration at subhorizon scales

Jelena Aleksić, +159 more
- 28 Nov 2014 - 
TL;DR: Gamma rays from the active galaxy IC 310 varied faster than the time required for light to cross the event horizon of the supermassive black hole at its nucleus, adding a piece to the puzzle of how jets form at supermassiveblack holes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unprecedented study of the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during flaring activity in March 2010

Jelena Aleksić, +259 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the day-scale SEDs with one-zone and two-zone synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models were investigated, and the observed broadband SED variability can be associated to variations in the relativistic particle population.
