    MAGIC observations of the diffuse γ-ray emission in the vicinity of the Galactic center
    Aims: In the presence of a sufficient amount of target material, γ-rays can be used as a tracer in the search for sources of Galactic cosmic rays (CRs). Here we...

    MAGIC observations of the giant radio galaxy M 87 in a low-emission state between 2005 and 2007
    Context. We present the results of a long M 87 monitoring campaign in very high energy γ-rays with the MAGIC-I Cherenkov telescope. Aims: We aim to model the...

    MAGIC Observations of the Unidentified γ-Ray Source TeV J2032+4130
    We observed the first known very high energy (VHE) γ-ray-emitting unidentified source, TeV J2032+4130, for 94 hr with the MAGIC telescope. The source was...

    MAGIC observations provide compelling evidence of hadronic multi-TeV emission from the putative PeVatron SNR G106.3+2.7
    Context. Certain types of supernova remnants (SNRs) in our Galaxy are assumed to be PeVatrons, capable of accelerating cosmic rays (CRs) to ~ PeV energies...

    MAGIC reveals a complex morphology within the unidentified gamma-ray source HESS J1857+026
    Aims: HESS J1857+026 is an extended TeV gamma-ray source that was discovered by H.E.S.S. as part of its Galactic plane survey. Given its broadband spectral...

    MAGIC search for VHE γ-ray emission from AE Aquarii in a multiwavelength context
    Context. It has been claimed that the nova-like cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii (AE Aqr) is a very-high-energy (VHE, E> 100 GeV) source both on observational...
