After a series of major VHE flares in 2005, 2008, and 2010, which were detected in multiple bands, the source has been found in a low activity state, interrupted only by comparatively smaller-scale flares. MAGIC and VERITAS, two stereoscopic Cherenkov telescope arrays located at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (Canary Islands, Spain) and the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (Arizona, US), have monitored M87 continuously and in coordination for more than 10 years. In this work, we present the data for 4 years of MAGIC and VERITAS observations corresponding to 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. The resulting light curves are shown in daily and monthly scales where no significant variability is observed. In addition, we show the first joint analysis using combined event data from the two VHE instruments and Fermi-LAT to compute the spectral energy distribution.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129794076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high X-ray efficiency of this nebula indicates that it may not be predominately powered by rotational energy of magnetar, but its internal magnetic energy released during burst activities. Similar to the case of rotation-powered pulsars, the energetic particle outflow injected from the magnetar propagates downstream of the termination shock and produces non-thermal radiations through interactions with the interstellar medium. The observed photon index softening towards the outer nebula was attributed to the cooling of relativistic electrons, which could provide useful information about particle transport in the nebula. In this work, we reanalyzed the XMM-Newton observations taken in 2014, and then developed a spatially dependent model to simulate the X-ray emission from the magnetar wind nebula. The fitting results favor the magnetic origin of the magnetar wind nebula. We also found that the observations could be well explained by the model without particle diffusion, indicating advection dominates particle transport in this nebula.","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123326354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The displacement of the mirrors is minute, so the mirrors must be sufficiently isolated from ground vibrations to achieve the required sensitivity. Therefore, the main mirrors are suspended by nine-stage pendulums in KAGRA, the gravitational wave detector in Japan. In such a pendulum-based vibration isolator, the mirror oscillates significantly at the resonant frequency. Hence we need the control system to damp the resonances, but the noise from the sensors used in such a control system can be a problem. In fact, the sensitivity of KAGRA was limited by the noise from the cryogenic payload control system at 10-50 Hz in the previous observation. Therefore, a low-noise control filter was designed and implemented for use during the previous observing run. As a result, the control noise of the cryogenic payload at 10-100 Hz was reduced by 2-3 orders of magnitude, and the target sensitivity for the O4 observing run was achieved at low frequency (below 100 Hz).","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124167355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contamination of the pulsar emission to the data of the nebula region was removed through application of a stringent pulsation phase-cut, extracting a phase range of 0.7–1.0 only. We found that the electric field vector polarization angle (PA) was about 130 ◦ from north to east with the polarization degree (PD) of about 25% at the pulsar position, indicating that the direction of the toroidal magnetic field is perpendicular to the pulsar spin axis in the region close to the termination shock. The PA gradually deviated from the angle as an increasing function of the distance from the pulsar. There was a region of a low PD to the west of the X-ray torus. By comparing the values of the PD at the pulsar position between the data and a model, in which toroidal and turbulent magnetic fields were considered, we estimated the fractional energy of the turbulent magnetic field to be about 2 / 3 of the total","PeriodicalId":448458,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2023)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127564512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
