The MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope for gamma ray astronomy
The Major Atmospheric Gamma ray Imaging Cherenkov Telescope (MAGIC) is in commissioning phase and will start to become fully operative by the end of 2003. Located at El Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain), it has the largest reflector area (17 m diameter) of all the existing Cherenkov telescopes. New technologies have been used to reduce the energy threshold for gamma-ray...
متن کاملHigh Energy Gamma-ray Observations of the Crab Nebula and Pulsar with the Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment
The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is a new ground-based atmospheric Cherenkov telescope for gamma-ray astronomy. STACEE uses the large mirror area of a solar heliostat facility to achieve a low energy threshold. A prototype experiment which uses 32 heliostat mirrors with a total mirror area of ∼ 1200m has been constructed. This prototype, called STACEE-32, was use...
متن کاملStudy of the High Energy Gamma-ray Emission from the Crab Pulsar with the MAGIC telescope and Fermi-LAT
My thesis deals with a fundamental question of high energy gamma-ray astronomy. Namely, I studied the cut-off shape of the Crab pulsar spectrum to distinguish between the leading scenarios for the pulsar models. Pulsars are celestial objects, which emit periodic pulsed electromagnetic radiation (pulsation) from radio to high energy gamma-rays. Two major scenarios evolved in past 40 years to exp...
متن کاملOBSERVATION OF THE CRAB NEBULA GAMMA-RAY EMISSION ABOVE 220 GeV BY THE CAT CHERENKOV IMAGING TELESCOPE
The CAT imaging telescope, recently built on the site of the former solar plant “Thémis” (French Pyrénées), observed γ-rays from the Crab nebula from October 1996 to March 1997. This steady source, often considered as the standard candle of very-high-energy γ-ray astronomy, is used as a test-beam to probe the performances of the new telescope, particularly its energy threshold (220GeV at 20 zen...
