RT Journal Article T1 First bounds on the very high energy gamma-ray emission from Arp 220 A1 Antoranz Canales, Pedro A1 Barrio Uña, Juan Abel A1 Contreras González, José Luis A1 Fonseca González, María Victoria A1 López Moya, Marcos A1 Miranda Pantoja, José Miguel AB Using the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cerenkov Telescope ( MAGIC), we have observed the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy, Arp 220, for about 15 hr. No significant signal was detected within the dedicated amount of observation time. The first upper limits to the very high energy gamma-ray flux of Arp 220 are herein reported and compared with theoretical expectations.
