The MAGIC project and observations of galactic sources — •Thomas Schweizer — Humboldt Universität, Elementarteilchenphysik, Newtonstr. 15, 12489 Berlin

MAGIC is a 17m diameter Cherenkov telescope located on the Canarian island La Palma. Several sources in the galactic plane have been observed with good statistics. The good angular resolution of MAGIC allows to resolve extended sources of moderate size. These observations improve our understanding of the physics of these objects and of the origin of cosmic rays.
