Deep Investigations of the Spectral Bump of Mrk 501

With the here proposed project, we aim at studying the feature in the VHE spectrum of Mrk 501 in detail. Evidence for a bump in the spectrum was found in data from observations in July 2014. We would like to study with MAGIC, if the spectral bump re-appears, and if it does, characterize it with respect to its time duration, position, intensity and width.



Details on Observing Strategy and Trigger Criteria
Given the short duration and moderate flux of 1-2 Crab Units seen during the 2014 observations showing the bump, we plan to trigger observations MAGIC observations within the same night based on FACT.
