Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars
We simulate the characteristics of the Galactic population of radio and gamma-ray pulsars using Monte Carlo techniques. At birth, neutron stars are spatially...
Gamma-ray burst observations with new generation imaging atmospheric Cerenkov Telescopes in the FERMI era
After the launch and successful beginning of operations of the FERMI satellite, the topics related to high-energy observations of gamma-ray bursts have obtained...
GRB 070610: Flares from a peculiar Galactic source
The majority of bright gamma-ray transients that we observe in the sky, are produced by extragalactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, we know that there are...
GRB 080514B: the first high-energy AGILE burst with optical/NIR afterglow
The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B was the first detected to have emission at energies above 30 MeV and an optical/NIR afterglow. Here we summarize the main...
The Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) telescope was designed for the detection of photon sources >~50 GeV. The measurement of highly-inclined...
Los telescopios MAGIC detectan el primer estallido de rayos gamma en muy altas energías
Esta observación sin precedentes aporta nuevos indicios para comprender los procesos físicos que suceden en las explosiones más violentas en el universo. Los...
Los telescopios MAGIC ponen a prueba la estructura cuántica del espacio-tiempo
La detección de un estallido de rayos gamma por los telescopios MAGIC, en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, permite estudiar si la velocidad de la luz...
MAGIC Observation of the Prompt and Afterglow Emission from GRBs
During two years since the beginning of operation, the MAGIC telescope could observe several GRB events in the prompt and early afterglow phase. Thanks to its...
MAGIC is built to perform observations of prompt and early afterglow emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) above 25 GeV. The instrument is designed to have the...
