Status and recent results of the MAGIC telescope system — •Dominik Elsässer for the MAGIC collaboration — Lehrstuhl für Astronomie, Universität Würzburg

MAGIC is a system of two 17m Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes located at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory on the Canary Island La Palma. In 2011 and 2012, MAGIC underwent major upgrades to make the system more homogeneous by providing both telescopes with identical cameras, trigger and readout electronics, and to boost the overall sensitivity. MAGIC is now a unique detector for the energy range between 50GeV and a few tens of TeVs. In this talk, we present recent scientific highlights from both galactic and extragalactic observations, and give an overview over the status and future plans for the system.
