Observations of Galactic Sources with the MAGIC Telescope — •Hendrik Bartko for the MAGIC collaboration — MPI für Physik, München

MAGIC is a 17m diameter Cherenkov telescope located on the Canary island La Palma. It features a low energy threshold and a good angular resolution which allows to resolve extended sources. We present results from observations of galactic sources such as super nova remnants, binary systems and pulsar wind nebulae. We briefly describe the observational strategy, the procedure implemented for the data analysis, and discuss the results for individual sources in the perspective of multifrequency observations. The observations give new insight into the physics of these objects and to the origin of cosmic rays.
