Discovery of very high-energy γ-ray emission from the LBL object BL Lacertae
The low-frequency peaked BL Lac (LBL) object BL Lacertae was observed with the MAGIC telescope from 2005 August to December (22.2 hr), and from 2006 July to September (26.0 hr). A very high energy (VHE) γ-ray signal was discovered with a 5.1 σ excess in the 2005 data. Above 200 GeV, an integral flux of (0.6± 0.2) × 10 cm s was measured, corresponding to approximately 3% of the Crab flux. The di...
متن کاملDiscovery of Very High Energy γ - rays from the famous blazar S 5 0716 + 714
The MAGIC collaboration reports the detection of the blazar S50716+714 (redshift uncertain) in very high energy gamma-rays. The observations were performed in November 2007 and in April 2008, and were triggered by the KVA telescope due to the high optical state of the object. The blazar S50716+714 is the third low frequency BL Lac detected at energies above 100 GeV until today. Here, we present...
متن کاملVeritas Observations of a Very High Energy Γ -ray Flare from the Blazar 3c 66a
The intermediate-frequency peaked BL Lacertae (IBL) object 3C 66A is detected during 2007–2008 in VHE (very high energy; E > 100 GeV) γ rays with the VERITAS stereoscopic array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. An excess of 1791 events is detected, corresponding to a significance of 21.2 standard deviations (σ ), in these observations (32.8 hr live time). The observed integral flux a...
متن کاملDiscovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the blazar 1ES 1727+502 with the MAGIC Telescopes
Motivated by the Costamante & Ghisellini (2002) predictions we investigated if the blazar 1ES 1727+502 (z = 0.055) is emitting very high energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) γ rays. We observed the BL Lac object 1ES 1727+502 in stereoscopic mode with the two MAGIC telescopes during 14 nights between May 6th and June 10th 2011, for a total effective observing time of 12.6 hours. For the study of the multiwav...
متن کاملHigh-energy γ-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts
GRBs are nowadays a rather well understood phenomenon in the soft (KeV-MeV) γ-ray energy band, while only a few GRBs have been observed at high photon energies (Eγ ∼ 1 GeV). It is also widely recognized that GRBs accelerate protons to relativistic energies and that dense media are often present nearby the sources. Within this framework and by further adopting Totani’s suggestion that GRB events...
