    Constraining Lorentz Invariance Violation Using the Crab Pulsar Emission Observed up to TeV Energies by MAGIC
    Spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry at energies on the order of the Planck energy or lower is predicted by many quantum gravity theories, implying non...

    Constraints on the Steady and Pulsed Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission from Observations of PSR B1951+32/CTB 80 with the MAGIC Telescope
    We report on very high energy γ-ray observations with the MAGIC Telescope of the pulsar PSR B1951+32 and its associated nebula, CTB 80. Our data constrain the...

    Deep observations of the globular cluster M15 with the MAGIC telescopes
    A population of globular clusters (GCs) has been recently established by the Fermi-LAT telescope as a new class of GeV γ-ray sources. Leptons accelerated to TeV...

    Detection of a large Be circumstellar disk during X-ray quiescence of XTE J1946+274
    Aims: We present a multiwavelength study of the Be/X-ray binary system XTE J1946+274 with the main goal of better characterizing its behavior during X-ray...

    Detection of bridge emission above 50 GeV from the Crab pulsar with the MAGIC telescopes
    Context. The Crab pulsar is the only astronomical pulsed source detected at very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. The emission mechanism of VHE...

    Detection of coherent millisecond pulsations at ~518 Hz in the LMXB Swift J1749.4-2807 (GRB060602B)
    On April 10th, it was discovered (ATel #2548) using INTEGRAL that the neutron-star X-ray binary Swift J1749.4-2807 (Wijnands et al. 2009, MNRAS, 393, 126) was...

    Detection of pulsations and identification of SAX J1748.9-2021 as the X-ray transient in NGC 6440.
    On the 28th of December, MAXI/GSC detected an X-ray outburst from the globular cluster NGC6440 (Atel #2360), which has continued to the present.
