Highlights from MAGIC in 2016 — •Karl Mannheim for the MAGIC collaboration — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universität Würzburg

The MAGIC Collaboration has carried out observations of cosmic gamma ray sources with the full efficiency and nominal sensitivity of its stereoscopic 17m telescope system throughout the year of 2016. Here, we report some outstanding results such as the detection of the gravitationally lensed blazar QSO B0218+357 at a cosmological redshift of 0.96, multiple emission components in blazars, gamma ray pulses from the Crab pulsar at TeV energies, and improved dark matter limits from the Perseus cluster and from dwarf galaxies. We also give a perspective on recent developments regarding follow-up observations of transients in the multi-messenger era of astroparticle physics.
