Description
We report the detection of a new source of very high energy (VHE;
Eγ>=100 GeV) γ-ray emission located close to
the Galactic plane, MAGIC J0616+225, which is spatially coincident with
supernova remnant IC 443. The observations were carried out with the
MAGIC telescope in the periods 2005 December-2006 January and 2006
December-2007 January. Here we present results from this source, leading
to a VHE γ-ray signal with a statistical significance of 5.7
σ in the 2006/2007 data and a measured differential γ-ray
flux consistent with a power law, described as
dNγ/(dAdtdE)=(1.0+/-0.2)×10-11(E/0.4
TeV)-3.1+/-0.3 cm-2 s-1
TeV-1. We briefly discuss the observational technique used
and the procedure implemented for the data analysis. The results are
placed in the context of the multiwavelength emission and the molecular
environment found in the region of IC 443.
