VHE Gamma-Ray Observation of the Crab Nebula and its Pulsar with the MAGIC telescope

Understand

We report about very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula with the MAGIC telescope.

• The gamma-ray flux from the nebula was measured between 60 GeV and 9 TeV.
• The energy spectrum can be described with a curved power law dF/dE=f0 (E/300 GeV)^(a+b*log10(E/300 GeV)) with a flux normalization f0 of(6.0+-0.2)*10^-10 1/(cm^2 s TeV), a=-2.31+-0.06 and b=-0.26+-0.07.
• The position of the IC-peak is determined at (77+-47) GeV.
