TL;DR: The ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes as mentioned in this paper, which is an international initiative to build the next generation instrument, with a factor of 5-10 improvement in sensitivity in the 100 GeV-10 TeV range and the extension to energies well below 100GeV and above 100 TeV.

TL;DR: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) as discussed by the authors is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma ray observatory with an international collaboration with more than 1000 members from 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America.

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.

TL;DR: The atmospheric Cherenkov gamma-ray telescope MAGIC, designed for a low-energy threshold, has detected very-high-energy gamma rays from a giant flare of the distant Quasi-Stellar Radio Source 3C 279, at a distance of more than 5 billion light-years.

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.
