Descripción
MAGIC is a system of two 17-m Cherenkov telescopes located at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary Island of La Palma, Spain. The telescopes have been in operations for two decades and during that time, the observation program evolved, adjusting to the new discoveries and ideas in astrophysics. Every year the telescopes observe a mixture of Galactic and Extragalactic targets. Ample time is devoted to transient events and observations of Targets of Opportunity, including also multi-messenger triggers. Selected sources are also covered in multi-year monitoring programs. Since a few years, the call for observation time is partially open, allowing for external scientists to submit MAGIC observation proposals. In 2025 the MAGIC and LST Collaborations agreed on a common observational strategy and a single Time Allocation Committee.
I will present the summary of the MAGIC observation program and present a few recent highlights of the observations of Galactic and extragalactic physics, as well as of using gamma-ray observations in studies of the fundamental physics
