Karsten Berger On behalf of the MAGIC Collaboration

First source discovered in 1992 (Punch+), greatest surprise: Variability! Currently 49 sources! 14 discovered by MAGIC (6 since stereo) including the two most distant! In total 23 detections. Cluster of sources start to appear Guidance of  -ray catalogues from Fermi satellite In this talk: only last minute “fresh-from-the-oven” results © R. Wagner

Discovered by MAGIC in 2006 Re-observed 2007 and 2009 (mono observations with MAGIC-I) No new EBL constraints (improved models) but interesting results for blazar physics Detection on 16 th of January: 5.4  (trial corrected) Integral flux F(>150 GeV) = (3.8±0.8)· ph/(cm²s), power law index -3.1±1.0 Both compatible with 2006 mea- surements due to large statistical errors No detection in 2009 (upper limits) Aleksić+ 2011

MW light curves show no strict correlation with the VHE flare at any other wavelength Rotation of the polarization angle and new component (knot) emerging in the jet (Larionov+ 2008) Open questions: flare variability time scale? Delay to GeV range? No detection simultaneous to Fermi so far! One zone SSC+EC inside BLR cannot fit SED  Two zone model or lepto-hadronic models (more free parameters) Aleksić+ 2011

Uncertain redshift, most recent estimate: (Danforth+ 2010) Detection each year from 2005 – 2009: flux variability >150 GeV between 4% - 11% C.U. Mild linear correlation between optical (R-band) and VHE (probability 74%) Aleksić+ submitted

Steady power law, stable over the years Mean photon index: 4.27 ± 0.14 Averaged SED using historical data Narrow SSC component implies relatively large minimum Lorentz factor for e - : 2.5·10 3 (similar to other hard spectrum HBLs) Good agreement Fermi – MAGIC Stereo observations allow detections in shorter time scales (in prep.) Aleksić+ submitted

Included in stacked HBL sample, no detection with MAGIC –I (Aleksić+ 2010) Another successful optical trigger, detection consistent with previous MAGIC upper limit -> variability unclear Integral flux (E > 200 GeV): ≈ 2.3% C.U. Soft power law spectrum: −3.2 ± 0.5 stat ± 0.5 sys SED: narrow peaks similar to PG 1553 SSC model fit with parameters typical for HBLs Aleksić+ in prep.

HBL at z=0.138, candidate TeV blazar from the Costamante & Ghisellini list, MAGIC-I u.l. Discovered by VERITAS in : 1.8% C.U. (E>300 GeV), variability unclear, soft spectrum between GeV Enhanced optical activity starting October 2010 MAGIC observations: : no detection : flare! 5.6% C.U., ~6.7  in 3.3h (Atel #3192) Swift observations triggered: high X-ray state (ATel #3208) Detailed spectral and varia- bility analysis of full dataset (20h) underway Tuorla monitoring R-band Aleksić+ in prep.

Detected by Swift/BAT on 2011/03/28 at 12:57:45 UT GRB nature rapidly ruled out due to unusually long lasting flaring activity detected by Swift MAGIC started observations on 2011/03/31 at 02:22 UT (~2.5 days after the trigger) 12 nights observed E thr ~150GeV ~ 27 h of good quality data 27°< Zd < 47°

Neither full dataset nor data taken during high X-ray flux (> erg cm -2 s -1 ) shows a significant excess PRELIMINARY upper limits calculated Adapted from Burrows PRELIMINARY 2.4 x cm -2 s -1 above 100 GeV 4.5 x cm -2 s -1 above 158 GeV 2.4 x cm -2 s -1 above 250 GeV 1.1 x cm -2 s -1 above 400 GeV 3.8 x cm -2 s -1 above 630 GeV 2.3 x cm -2 s -1 above 1 TeV Integral Upper Limits (95% CL: Total sample) 2.8 x cm -2 s -1 above 100 GeV 5.2 x cm -2 s -1 above 158 GeV 2.8 x cm -2 s -1 above 250 GeV 1.1 x cm -2 s -1 above 400 GeV 3.0 x cm -2 s -1 above 630 GeV 1.7 x cm -2 s -1 above 1 TeV Integral ULs (95% CL: High X state)

HBL, z=0.083 Host galaxy one of the most luminous and largest of all BL Lacs Triplet of interacting galaxies with tidel streams? (Heidt+ 1999) Promising candidate from Costamante & Ghisellini list 60h of data, clear 5  signal ~0.8% C.U., hard spectrum Weakest AGN detected by MAGIC so far, start to explore <1% Crab regime Analysis still ongoing PRELIMINARY

MAGIC stereoscopic system is performing very well: 7 new sources Optical triggers enabled many of these discoveries Most of the sources are variable Multi-wavelength studies important Actively constraining blazar emission models Planned upgrades to improve sensitivity (especially at low energies)
