The paper titled “Standardised formats and open-source analysis tools for the MAGIC telescopes data” by the MAGIC Collaboration was accepted for publication in the Journal of High Energy Astrophysics and is now available on arxiv.

In this paper, the MAGIC Collaboration presented the effort to adopt a standardised and open format developed by the community for its data. The adoption of this format allows for the analysis of the data with open-source software and facilitates combination of data from different gamma-ray instruments.

This effort and this first data release represent a technical milestone toward the realisation of a public legacy of the MAGIC telescopes data, a project to which members of both IFAE and PIC are strongly committed.
