Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright flashes observed typically at GHz frequencies with millisecond duration, whose origin is likely extragalactic. Their nature remains mysterious, motivating searches for counterparts other wavelengths. FRB 121102 so far the only source known to repeatedly emit FRBs and associated a host galaxy redshift |$z$| ≃ 0.193. We conducted simultaneous observations of Arecibo MAGIC telescopes during several epochs in 2016–2017. This allowed time-scale burst emission...

Mrk501 is a very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray blazar located at z=0.034. During period of two weeks in July 2014, the highest X-ray activity was observed ~14 years operation Neil Gehrels Swift Gamma-ray Burst Observatory. We characterize broadband variability from radio to VHE gamma rays, and evaluate whether it can be interpreted within theoretical scenarios widely used explain emission blazars. The temporal evolution most prominent variable segments SED described with one-zone synchrotron...

PKS 1510-089 is a flat spectrum radio quasar strongly variable in the optical and GeV range. We search for low-state VHE gamma-ray emission from 1510-089. aim to characterize model source broad-band context, which would provide baseline over high states flares could be better understood. use daily binned Fermi-LAT flux measurements of select observation periods MAGIC during low state activity. For selected times we compute average radio, IR, optical, UV, X-ray construct spectral energy...

The mechanisms producing fast variability of the $\gamma$-ray emission in active galactic nuclei are under debate. MAGIC telescopes detected a very high energy (VHE, E$>100$ GeV) flare from BL Lacertae on 2015 June 15. had maximum flux $(1.5\pm 0.3)\times 10^{-10}$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ and halving time $26\pm8$ minutes. observations were triggered by state optical (HE, MeV) bands. In this paper we present VHE data together with multiwavelength radio, optical, X-rays, HE $\gamma$ rays...

A population of globular clusters (GCs) has been recently established by the Fermi-LAT telescope as a new class GeV $\gamma$-ray sources. Leptons accelerated to TeV energies, in inner magnetospheres MSPs or their wind regions, should produce $\gamma$-rays through inverse Compton scattering dense radiation field from huge stars. We have conducted deep observations cluster M15 with MAGIC telescopes and used 165 hrs order search for emission. strong upper limit on flux $<3.2\times...

High-mass microquasars (HMMQs) are systems from which relativistic jets launched. At the scales of several times binary system size, expected to follow a helical path caused by interaction with strong stellar wind and orbital motion. Such trajectory has its influence on non-thermal emission jets, also depends strongly observing angle due Doppler boosting effects. We explore how HMMQ at small is affected impact motion jet propagation. studied broadband emission, radio gamma rays, produced in...

Context . The stellar wind in high-mass microquasars should interact with the jet. This interaction, coupled orbital motion, is expected to make jet follow a helical, nonballistic trajectory. energy dissipated by this through shocks for example, could lead nonthermal activity on scales significantly larger than system size. Aims We calculate broadband emission from affected impact of and motion microquasar. Methods employ prescription helical trajectory circular orbit. Subsequently, assuming...

Gamma-ray binaries are systems that emit non-thermal radiation peaking at energies above 1 MeV. One proposed scenario to explain their emission consists of a pulsar orbiting massive star, with particle acceleration taking place in shocks produced by the interaction stellar and winds. We develop semi-analytical model colliding-wind structure including dynamical effects orbital motion. apply general case LS 5039. The one-dimensional emitter geometry which is affected Coriolis forces owing Two...

X-ray and gamma-ray binaries are systems consisting of a compact object normally non-degenerate companion star. Most these sources have been shown to emit radiation in broad frequency range, from radio up X-rays sometimes gamma rays. We report on recent results very high-energy rays above 100 GeV obtained by the MAGIC Collaboration for Galactic MAXI J1820+070 1A 0535+262, binary HESS J0632+057. Multiwavelength data at lower energies also provided better contextualisation sources.
