Recent results from the MAGIC astroparticle and fundamental physics programme — •Moritz Hütten for the MAGIC collaboration — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, Föhringer Ring 6, 80805 München

In this report, we present the latest results of searches for signs for new physics in extraterrestrial gamma rays with the MAGIC telescopes. MAGIC is a stereoscopic system of two imaging-atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located on the Canary island of La Palma. We draw special attention to two recent efforts of the group: Firstly, we present a combined analysis of various dwarf galaxies for indirect gamma-ray signals from WIMP dark matter. Secondly, we show results on probing the Lorentz invariance using the MAGIC data from the first detection of TeV photons from a gamma-ray burst, namely, GRB190114C, and on Mrk421. We will conclude with an outlook on current activities of the group.
