MAGIC: Highlights and recent developments from the Galactic and extragalactic physics programme — •Dominik Elsässer for the MAGIC collaboration — TU Dortmund
The MAGIC telescope system consists of two 17m diameter imaging air Cherenkov telescopes operated at the Canary Island of La Palma. Even after more than 15 years since the inauguration of the first telescope, and several highly successful upgrades of the system, the physics portfolio of MAGIC is still growing in both scope and depth. In this talk, recent highlights from the observational programme will be presented, which include amongst others detailed studies of the VHE spectra of supernova remnants, key contributions to multi wavelength campaigns on AGN, and the detection of VHE emission from a blazar coincident with a high energy neutrino event. The talk will conclude with an outlook on propagating this programme into the era of the Cherenkov Telescope Array.
