Long term variability study for the radio galaxy IC 310 with MAGIC — •Simone Mender and Lena Linhoff for the MAGIC collaboration — TU Dortmund, Otto-Hahn Str. 4a, 44227 Dortmund

The very-high-energy gamma-ray sky is dominated by jetted active galactic nuclei with a small viewing angle to the jet axis, where the gamma rays are doppler bosted towards Earth. So far, known VHE gamma-ray sources with a larger viewing angle are very rare as only six TeV gamma-ray emitting radio galaxies are detected up to now.

One of these TeV-gamma-ray emitting radio galaxies is the active galaxy IC 310 which was detected in 2010 by the MAGIC telescopes. In November 2012, an exceptionally bright flare from IC 310 was detected by MAGIC on timescales of minutes. To investigate the variability of IC 310 on large time scales, the long term variability study for the radio galaxy IC 310 with MAGIC will be presented in this talk.
