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 Uniformity GLAST Pulse Duration MAGIC “long” “short” ~10 sec GRB trigger Satellite to MAGIC ~20 sec MAGIC slewing time
MAGIC made an observation in the period of the main prompt emission!! But we knew later z = 6. 3
Summary MAGIC Sources n n n We have seen ~15 sources including several new sources Micro-Quasars are playing an important role as a source of galactic cosmic rays New 100 Ge. V HBLs show steep spectra The attenuation by e+- creation The nature of SSC mechanism n 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 n 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 n n 10 times better sensitivity than HESS and MAGIC 1000 VHE sources in norhtern and southern hemisphere
