20
PG 1553 (z>0.25 unknown) Very Soft energy spectrum the attenuation by pair creation or nature of SSC mechanism MAGIC Z < 0.58

GRB observation by MAGIC MAGIC GLAST Pulse Duration “short” “long” Uniformity ~10sec GRB trigger Satellite to MAGIC ~20sec MAGIC slewing time
22
But we knew later z = 6.3 MAGIC made an observation in the period of the main prompt emission!!

Summary MAGIC Sources We have seen ~15 sources including several new sources We have seen ~15 sources including several new sources Micro-Quasars are playing an important role as a source of galactic cosmic rays Micro-Quasars are playing an important role as a source of galactic cosmic rays New 100GeV HBLs show steep spectra New 100GeV HBLs show steep spectra The attenuation by e+- creation The nature of SSC mechanism GRB observations GRB observations 2 among 9 observations were done in prompt phase Eventually MAGIC may see VHE gammas from GRBs Second telescope MAGIC-II is under the construction in La Palma Next year we will start stereo observation 2 times better sensitivity number of sources may increase ~50 Next year we will start stereo observation 2 times better sensitivity number of sources may increase ~50 HESS and MAGIC people are planning CTA after HESS and MAGIC experiment 10 times better sensitivity than HESS and MAGIC 10 times better sensitivity than HESS and MAGIC 1000 VHE sources in norhtern and southern hemisphere 1000 VHE sources in norhtern and southern hemisphere
