MAGIC observations of Mkn 421 during multi-frequency campaigns in 2006 — •Stefan Rügamer1, Igor Oya2, Robert Wagner3, and Jose Luis Contreras2 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universität Würzburg, Germany — 2Universidad Complutense, Madrid, Spain — 3Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, München, Germany
The well-know TeV blazar Mkn 421 has been observed by the MAGIC telescope in 2006 in the course of several multi-frequency campaigns. During those individual campaigns, the Suzaku satellite, XMM Newton and Integral provided simultaneous X-ray coverage, accompanied by optical monitoring with the KVA telescope. Through the Whipple AGN monitoring programme quasi-simultaneous VHE observations are available.
MAGIC detected Mkn 421 each day of these campaigns with high significance, establishing once more flux variability on nightly scales for this object. For certain nights, the integral flux > 200 GeV exceeded the one of Crab significantly. In this talk, the results of the MAGIC observations will be presented in detail.
