Context. Recently, the high-energy (HE, 0.1-100 GeV) $γ$-ray emission from the object LMC P3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has been discovered to be modulated with a 10.3-day period, making it the first extra-galactic $γ$-ray binary.
Aims. This work aims at the detection of very-high-energy (VHE, >100 GeV) $γ$-ray emission and the search for modulation of the VHE signal with the orbital period of the binary system.
Methods. LMC P3 has been observed with the High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.); the acceptance-corrected exposure time is 100 h. The data set has been folded with the known orbital period of the system in order to test for variability of the emission. Energy spectra are obtained for the orbit-averaged data set, and for the orbital phase bin around the VHE maximum.
Results. VHE $γ$-ray emission is detected with a statistical significance of 6.4 $σ$. The data clearly show variability which is phase-locked to the orbital period of the system. Periodicity cannot be deduced from the H.E.S.S. data set alone. The orbit-averaged luminosity in the $1-10$ TeV energy range is $(1.4 \pm 0.2) \times 10^{35}$ erg/s. A luminosity of $(5 \pm 1) \times 10^{35}$ erg/s is reached during 20% of the orbit. HE and VHE $γ$-ray emissions are anti-correlated. LMC P3 is the most luminous $γ$-ray binary known so far.

Overview of the results from extra-galactic observations with the MAGIC telescopes
活动星系核的非热喷流辐射在频率范围内有几个数量级。因此,观测方法需要多波长(MWL)活动,收集无线电,光学,紫外线,X射线,高能直到甚高能(VHE)伽马射线波段的数据。MAGIC是加那利群岛拉帕尔马Roque de los Muchachos天文台的一个由两台17米直径望远镜组成的系统,积极参与并组织MWL对已知和新发现的VHE源的观测。在这些会议记录中,我们报告了MAGIC河外观测的最新结果,该结果在时间变率研究和喷流排放模型方面获得了新的见解。
