Descripción
MAGIC is a stereoscopic system of two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov
Telescopes operating in the very high energy (VHE) range from about 50
GeV to over 50 TeV. The VHE gamma-ray spectra measured at Earth carry an
imprint of the extra-galactic background light (EBL) and can be used to
study the EBL density and its evolution in time. In the last few years,
precision measurements of several blazars in the redshift range from
z=0.03 up to z=0.9 were performed with MAGIC obtaining strong limits on
the EBL density from single sources. In this paper, we present the
results from a combined likelihood analysis using this broad redshift
range sample of blazars allowing us to probe the EBL at different
wavelengths. The implications on the EBL models and perspectives for
future observations with MAGIC are also discussed.
