Spectral and temporal properties of the Mkn 501 flare in July 2005 — •Robert Wagner, Jose Antonio Coarasa, and David Paneque — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München

The MAGIC telescope observed the active galactic nucleus Mkn 501 during summer 2005. During the observations a flare with peak intensities of 4 times the Crab flux could be recorded. An analysis with unprecedented timing resolution both for the high flux states and for semi-quiescent states before and after the flare was carried out.

Here we present results of spectral and temporal analyses of the summer 2005 Mkn 501 dataset.
