The MAGIC of VHE gamma-ray astronomy: 20 years, 200 peer-reviewed publications and beyond — •David Paneque for the MAGIC collaboration — Max Planck Institute fuer Physik, Muenchen, Deutschland

The MAGIC telescope system consists of two 17-m diameter mirror dish telescopes located at 2200m a.s.l. on the Canary Island of La Palma, in Spain. The year 2023 is the 20th anniversary of MAGIC, reaching the milestone of 200 peer-reviewed publications over a wide range of research areas, covering astrophysics with Galactic and extragalactic objects, dark matter searches, and studies of cosmology via the propagation of gamma rays from distant sources. MAGIC has become a world-wide leading instrument for gamma-ray astronomy in the energy range from 20 GeV to beyond 100 TeV, and an active participant in various multiwavelength and multimessenger observational campaigns. In the conference I will give a status report of this instrument, including the discussion of a few recent highlight results.
