1 1 MAGIC Crab 10% Crab 1% Crab GLAST MAGIC HESS E. F(>E) [TeV/cm 2 s] E [GeV] Cycle 1 of data taking from Mar 2005 to Apr 2006 –~1200 hours, with efficiency ~80% Close to design performance –1 new galactic source discovered, plus 3 to 6 extragalactic MAGIC Catalog opened by the Astronomical Association –2 GRB observations during the primary burst –Many cooperations (Integral, Suzaku, Swift, GCN, optical telescopes; triggers sent & received…) –Papers published or submitted for all positive signals, but 5 (Crab, Mkn501, 3 possible new sources) –Threshold Detect significant signal above 40 GeV Publishing with a threshold of 70 GeV, and preliminary physics results at 50 GeV Cycle 2 started on May 2006 –Objectives on fundamental physics, DM, GRBs, cosmological constants

2 2 MAGIC Papers 2006 (up to now) 1.Variable VHE  -ray Emission from the Microquasar LSI +61 303, Science, 23 June 2006 2.Observation of VHE  - radiation from HESS J1834-087/W41 with the MAGIC telescope, ApJ Letters 643, L53 (2006) 3.MAGIC Observations of VHE  -rays from HESS J1813-178, ApJ Letters 637, L41 (2006) 4.Observation of  -rays from the Galactic Center with the MAGIC telescope - ApJ Letters 638, L101 (2006) 5.Discovery of VHE  -rays from Markarian 180 triggered by an optical outburst, submitted to ApJ; astro-ph/0606630 6.Detection of VHE radiation from the BL Lac PG 1553+113 with the MAGIC telescope, submitted to ApJ; astro-ph/0606161 7.Observations of Mkn 421 with the MAGIC Telescope, Accepted by ApJ 2006 8.Discovery of VHE  -ray emission from 1ES1218+30.4, ApJ Letters 642, L119 (2006) 9.Observation of VHE  -ray emission from the Active Galactic Nucleus 1ES1959+650 using the MAGIC telescope, ApJ 639, 761 (2006) 10.Flux upper limit of gamma-ray emission by GRB050713a from MAGIC Telescope obervations, ApJ Letters 641, L9 (2006) DISCOVERY DISCOVERY DISCOVERY DISCOVERY 1 ST OBSERVATION (NEGATIVE) GALACTIC EXTRAGALACTIC

3 3 Selected plots… PG1553: source at z~0.3 detected at 9  1ES1218 (z=0.18) New Source PG 1553 (New source ) Extragalactic 2min resolution Light curve Mkn501 giant flare Bins of 2 min !!! Galactic 90 cm VLA (green) + MAGIC (bck) + 12CO (black) SNR HESS J1834 imaged: Source is Extended! First  QSR at VHE (up to 5 TeV) Hint of periodicity over 6T (Science)

4 4 The second telescope Will allow improving the threshold (30 GeV?) and reaching HESS’ angular resolution and sensitivity at the TeV Goal: to be ready end 2007, to make simultaneous observations with GLAST –Mechanics finished in Dec 2005, in schedule –Mirror production (new 1m 2 technology tested on MAGIC 1): contract for the production of the raw blanks signed in June We are late by 4 months, but still possibility to be on time
