Abstract (from CDS):

In 2005 and 2006, the MAGIC telescope observed very high energy gamma-ray emission from the distant BL Lac object PG 1553+113. The overall significance of the signal was 8.8 σ for 18.8 hr of observation time. The light curve shows no significant flux variations on a daily timescale; the flux level during 2005 was, however, significantly higher compared to 2006. The differential energy spectrum between ∼90 and 500 GeV is well described by a power law with photon index Γ=4.2±0.3. The combined 2005 and 2006 energy spectrum provides an upper limit of z=0.74 on the redshift of the object.
