We present the detection of the Crab Pulsar above 25 GeV
by the 17m diameter MAGIC telescope. We observed the
Crab Pulsar between October 2007 and February 2008 using
a newly developed trigger system, which allowed us to lower
the energy threshold of the telescope from 55 GeV to 25 GeV.
From previous non-detections of the Crab pulsar above 55 GeV
and from the observations by the EGRET...

The Large Area Telescope on the recently launched Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST), with its large field of view and effective area, combined with its excellent timing capabilities is poised to revolutionize the field of gamma-ray astrophysics. The significant improvement in sensitivity of Fermi over EGRET is expected to result in the discovery of a large number of new...
