    Detection of the Geminga pulsar with MAGIC hints at a power-law tail emission beyond 15 GeV
    We report the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) between 15 GeV and 75 GeV. This is the first time a middle-aged...

    Discovery of a Second Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binary in the Globular Cluster Ngc 6440
    We have discovered a new transient low-mass X-ray binary, NGC 6440 X-2, with Chandra/ACIS, RXTE/PCA, and Swift/XRT observations of the globular cluster NGC 6440...

    Discovery of an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar in the Eclipsing Binary System SWIFT J1749.4-2807
    We report on the discovery and the timing analysis of the first eclipsing accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP): SWIFT J1749.4-2807. The neutron...

    Discovery of Kilohertz Quasi-periodic Oscillations and Shifted Frequency Correlations in the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar XTE J1807-294
    We report the discovery of twin kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in the X-ray flux of XTE J1807-294, the fourth accreting millisecond pulsar...

    Discovery of slow X-ray pulsations in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54
    Context: The source 4U 2206+54 is one of the most enigmatic high-mass X-ray binaries. In spite of intensive searches, X-ray pulsations have not been detected in...

    Discovery of TeV γ-ray emission from the pulsar wind nebula 3C 58 by MAGIC
    Context. The pulsar wind nebula (PWN) 3C 58 is one of the historical very high-energy (VHE; E> 100 GeV) γ-ray source candidates. It is energized by one of the...
