    Teraelectronvolt pulsed emission from the Crab Pulsar detected by MAGIC
    Aims: We investigate the extension of the very high-energy spectral tail of the Crab Pulsar at energies above 400 GeV. Methods: We analyzed ~320 h of good...
  • Publication
    Testing two-component models on very high-energy gamma-ray-emitting BL Lac objects
    Context. It has become evident that one-zone synchrotron self-Compton models are not always adequate for very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray-emitting blazars...
  • Publication
    TeV pion bumps in the gamma-ray spectra of flaring blazars
    Context. Very high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) observations of the blazar Mrk 501 with MAGIC in 2014 provided evidence for an unusual narrow spectral feature at...

    The bright optical afterglow of the long GRB 001007
    We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA)...

    The Bright γ-ray Flare of 3C 279 in 2015 June: AGILE Detection and Multifrequency Follow-up Observations
    We report the AGILE detection and the results of the multifrequency follow-up observations of a bright γ-ray flare of the blazar 3C 279 in 2015 June. We use...
  • Publication
    The Broadband Energy Distribution of the Misaligned Gamma-Ray Blazar PKS 0521-365
    Simultaneous UV and X-ray observations of the blazar PKS 0521-365 are combined with radio, IR, optical, and y-ray data taken at different epochs to study the...

    The Cherenkov Telescope Array potential for the study of young supernova remnants
    Supernova remnants (SNRs) are among the most important targets for γ-ray observatories. Being prominent non-thermal sources, they are very likely responsible...
