Gamma Rays: Observations, Ism: Individual (Ic 443, Magic J0616+225), Supernova Remnants

Scientific paper

TeV observations of Supernova remnants (SNRs) and, in particular, of SNRs which appear to be physically related to EGRET sources are a prime target for the MAGIC telescope. MAGIC's spatial resolution and sensitivity can probe the main mechanism responsible for producing high energy photons in the SNR neighbourhood. Based on a recent systematical analysis of the molecular environment of the vicinity of all SNR-EGRET source pairs, the IC 443 remnant was chosen for observations with MAGIC. We briefly describe the observational strategy which provided the detection of a new very-high energy gamma-ray source: MAGIC J0616+225.
