AGN Observations with the MAGIC Telescope
AGN Observations with the MAGIC Telescope
MAGIC is presently the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope with the largest reflecting surface and the lowest energy threshold. MAGIC concluded its first year of regular observation in April 2006. During this period and the preceding commissioning phase, 25 Active Galactic Nuclei have been observed and VHE gamma-ray emission has been confirmed by 4 of them. Two more AGNs have been detected as gamma-ray sources with high statistical significance for the first time. We report in this paper the results obtained analyzing data of the detected sources. Temporal and spectral properties of detected signals are shown and discussed.
