A detailed study of the gamma ray binary LS I +61 303 with MAGIC — •Tobias Jogler — Max-Planck-Instiut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München

The MAGIC telescope studied for more than two years the famous binary system LS I +61 303 which is one of the four known gamma ray binaries. The system consists of a B0Ve main sequence star and a compact opbject which is either a neutron star or a black hole. Here we will disucuss the most detailed light curve derived so far in very high energy gamma rays and discuss various consequences of this observation. In addition we will present the spectral behavior of the system in different orbital phases and over large and short timescales. We will further discuss the relation between gamma ray, X-ray and radio emission.
