摘要:

类星体3C 279是研究得最好的平谱射电类星体之一。它位于相对较大的红移z=0.536:E>100 GeV,直到最近,由于预期的陡峭能谱和预期的河外背景光对伽马射线的衰减,对这样遥远的源的观测是不可能的。在这里,我们提出的观测结果3C 279与MAGIC望远镜在2006年初。我们报告检测到一个显着的非常高的能量伽马射线信号的MAGIC能量范围的观测之夜,2006年2月23日。

英文摘要:

The quasar 3C 279 is one of the best-studied flat spectrum radio quasars. It is located at a comparatively large redshift of z=0.536: E>100 GeV observations of such distant sources were until recently impossible both due to the expected steep energy spectrum and the expected attenuation of the gamma-rays by the extragalactic background light. Here we present results on the observation of 3C 279 with the MAGIC telescope in early 2006. We report the detection of a significant very high energy gamma-ray signal in the MAGIC energy range on the observation night of 2006 February 23.
