The MAGIC Cherenkov telescope with its 17 m diameter mirror is the worldwide largest dedicated Cherenkov telescope [1][2]. One of the main goals in the design of the telescope was the ability to point to any arbitrary position on the sky in less than 20 s to allow one observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) after an alert by satellite experiments

We present an overview of BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras observations of the nine most frequent type I X-ray bursters in the Galactic center region. Six years of observations (from 1996 to 2002) have amounted to 7 Ms of Galactic center observations and the detection of 1823 bursts. The 3 most frequent bursters are GX 354-0 (423 bursts), KS 1731-260

Replicated theoretical attempts of relativistic approaches to the pion self-energy in nuclear matter yield unphysical pion spectra. We demonstrate the crucial dependence of the calculated pion spectra on the correct relativistic accounting for the short-range correlation effects on the pion self-energy in the medium. To do this, we simulate the

We report the detection of rapid wavelength and intensity variations of narrow components in absorption line profiles of the hot galactic supergiant P Cygni. During most of the time, in 1 week of observations, there were two such components present. Although the period of observation is too short for firm conclusions, the velocity curves do not
