Variable very high energy γ-ray emission from markarian 501

Justin Albert, +149 more
TL;DR: The MAGIC telescope was used to observe the blazar Markarian 501 (Mrk 501) at energies above 100 GeV from May through July 2005 as mentioned in this paper, and the high sensitivity of the instrument enabled the determination of the flux and spectrum of the source on a night-by-night basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magic discovery of very high energy emission from the fsrq pks 1222+21

Jelena Aleksić, +159 more
TL;DR: Very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from the flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 1222+21 (4C 21.432) was detected with the MAGIC Cherenkov telescopes during a short observation (similar to 0.5 hr) performed on 2010 June 17 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radio Imaging of the Very-High-Energy gamma-Ray Emission Region in the Central Engine of a Radio Galaxy

V. A. Acciari, +385 more
- 24 Jul 2009 - 
TL;DR: Radio and VHE observations of the radio galaxy Messier 87 are revealed, revealing a period of extremely strong VHE gamma-ray flares accompanied by a strong increase of theRadio flux from its nucleus, implying that charged particles are accelerated to very high energies in the immediate vicinity of the black hole.
Journal ArticleDOI

Very high energy gamma-ray radiation from the stellar mass black hole binary cygnus X-1

Justin Albert, +147 more
TL;DR: The MAGIC observations were performed for a total of 40 hours during 26 nights, spanning the period between 2006 June and November, and the results from the observations in the very high energy band (VHE; GeV) of the black E = 100 g hole X-ray binary (BHXB) Cygnus X-1 were reported in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Probing quantum gravity using photons from a flare of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 501 observed by the MAGIC telescope

Justin Albert, +150 more
- 16 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the MAGIC observations were analyzed for a possible correlation with energy, as suggested by some models of quantum gravity (QG), which predict a vacuum refractive index similar or equal to 1 + (E/M-QGn)(n), n = 1, 2.71 +/- 2.57) x 10(-6) s/GeV2, respectively.
