The MAGIC View of our Galaxy — •Tobias Jogler for the MAGIC collaboration — Max-Planck-Instiut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München

MAGIC is an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope located on the Canary Island La Palma. With this high-sensitivity instrument we study different source types located in our galaxy, such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebula, pulsars, binary systems, microquasars and globular clusters. Here we will present new results on various of these very high energy gamma-ray sources within our galaxy. With the MAGIC observation we are able to get a deeper insight to the energetic processes which are taking place in these sources. A very nice example is the observation of binary systems were we search for changing emission properties during the different orbital phase of these systems. Another interesting issue is the study of correlation between emission of VHE gamma rays of supernova remnants and other wavebands which might give an answer to the question of the origin of galactic cosmic rays.
