Scientific paper

The AGN 1ES1959+650 has been observed with the MAGIC telescope in September and October 2004. The MAGIC Telescope is a low energy threshold IACT with, which is well suited for observations of weak γ-ray sources with soft spectra. During the first observations by MAGIC, 1ES1959+650 was in a low state of activity both in X-ray and in optical wavelengths. The analysis of VHE γ-ray data showed a ~8σ significant signal, while no strong variation of emission during the examined period has been found. The mean measured γ-ray flux was ~17% of Crab Nebula above 300 GeV. The measured differential energy spectrum between 150 GeV and 2 TeV can be described by a power law function of spectral index α = (2.72±0.14).
