The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescope was designed for the detection of photon sources >~50 GeV. The measurement of highly-inclined...
Ground-based, very high energy gamma-ray astronomy, a tool for exploring the ultrarelativistic Universe
The window of very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray astronomy was only opened 20 years ago by the first observation of TeV gamma-rays from the CRAB nebula. Since...
The physics of infrared emission processes is examined, taking into account black body radiation, radiation from dust particles, thermal plasma emission...
Inside Volcanoes through cosmic-ray muon tomography
The origin and structure of the Earth's crust is still a major question. Current measurements of the nearby crust are based largely on seismic, gravimetric and...
Investigation of the cosmic ray population and magnetic field strength in the halo of NGC 891
Context. Cosmic rays and magnetic fields play an important role for the formation and dynamics of gaseous halos of galaxies. Aims: Low-frequency radio continuum...
MAGIC observations of the diffuse γ-ray emission in the vicinity of the Galactic center
Aims: In the presence of a sufficient amount of target material, γ-rays can be used as a tracer in the search for sources of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs). Here we...
MAGIC observations provide compelling evidence of hadronic multi-TeV emission from the putative PeVatron SNR G106.3+2.7
Context. Certain types of supernova remnants (SNRs) in our Galaxy are assumed to be PeVatrons, capable of accelerating cosmic rays (CRs) to ~ PeV energies...
Monte Carlo studies for the optimisation of the Cherenkov Telescope Array layout
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is the major next-generation observatory for ground-based very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. It will improve the...
Observation of VHE γ-rays from Cassiopeia A with the MAGIC telescope
Aims:We searched for very high energy (VHE) γ-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A Methods: The shell-type supernova remnant Cassiopeia A was...
