TL;DR
The MAGIC-I Telescope observed the gamma-ray burst GRB090102 at energies below 50 GeV, demonstrating the effectiveness of its upgraded trigger system for future gamma-ray burst follow-ups.
Contribution
This paper reports the first successful use of the upgraded MAGIC-1 sum trigger system in a GRB observation, enhancing the observatory's capabilities.
Findings
Upper limits below 50 GeV were achieved for GRB090102.
First full exploitation of the new trigger system in a GRB observation.
Demonstrates MAGIC's potential for future gamma-ray burst follow-up observations.
Abstract
On January 2, the MAGIC-I Telescope observed GRB090102 (z=1.55) under particularly good observation conditions. Using the recently upgraded MAGIC-1 sum trigger system, upper limits down to below 50 GeV have been obtained. This is the first time that the new trigger system was fully exploited for a Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) observation and shows the capabilities of the MAGIC observatory for future follow-up observations.
