Resum

El microquasar V4ль Cygni va patir una sèrie d'esclats el juny del 2015, entre els dies 15 i 31, durant els quals el flux de raigs X durs (20-40 keV) va arribar a unes 40 vegades més que el flux de la nebulosa del Cranc. A causa de l'excepcional interès de l'activitat lluminosa d'aquesta font, es van dur a terme observacions en diverses longituds d'ona. Els telescopis MAGIC, activats per les alertes INTEGRAL, van seguir la font lluminosa durant unes quantes nits del període comprès entre el 18 i el 27 de juny, més de deu hores. Es va fer una hora d'observació simultàniament en un esclat gegant de ràdio a 22 GHz i un senyal feble vist per Fermi-LAT. Les observacions MAGIC no van mostrar emissions significatives en cap dels intervals temporals analitzats. El límit superior del flux derivat, al rang energètic de 200-1250 GeV, és de 4,8 × 10-12 fotons cm-2 s-1. Estimem que l'opacitat als raigs gamma durant el període lluminós, juntament amb els nostres punts de no detecció, indiquen una acceleració ineficient en els jets del V404 Cyg si un emissor d'energia molt alta es troba a més d'1 × 1010 cm des de l'objecte compacte. © 2017 The Authors
