Descripción
Located at the Canary island of La Palma, MAGIC is the world-wide
largest Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescope. MAGIC-I has been in
operation since 2004. Currently, two twin telescopes can take data in
stereo mode. Both in single or stereo mode, the telescopes deliver a
wealth of exciting physics results in the Very High Energy (VHE) region
of gamma-rays from the galactic and extragalactic sky. In the following
I will present an introduction to gamma ray astronomy, Cherenkov
telescopes and a review of the most recent experimental results obtained
using MAGIC telescopes.
