MAGIC detects a VHE flare from 4C +21.35 (PKS 1222+21)
Abstract
The MAGIC collaboration reports the detection of a very high gamma ray flare from the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar 4C +21.35 (PKS 1222+21, z=0.432, RA: 12h24m54.4s DEC: +21d22m46s, J2000) at energies above 100 GeV. The observation was performed in stereoscopic mode during low intensity moon light using the two 17m diameter imaging Cherenkov telescopes on La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain, during 0.5 hours on MJD 55364 (June 17th 2010).
