New source of very high energy gamma-ray emission detected in the neighborhood of the supernova remnant G24.7+0.6

Using MAGIC telescopes and NASA's Fermi spacecraft, an international team of astronomers has discovered a new source of very high energy gamma-ray emission around the supernova remnant (SNR) G24.7+0.6. The detection of the new source, designated MAGIC J1835-069, is detailed in a paper published December 12 on the arXiv pre-print server.
