Status, performance and scientific highlights from the MAGIC telescope system — •Marlene Doert for the MAGIC collaboration — Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany — Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany

The MAGIC telescopes are a system of two 17 m Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, which are located at 2200 m above sea level at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory on the Canary Island of La Palma. In this presentation, we report on recent scientific highlights gained from MAGIC observations in the galactic and the extragalactic regime. We also present the current status and performance of the MAGIC system after major hardware upgrades in the years 2011 to 2014 and give an overview of future plans.
