The very-high energy gamma-ray sky seen through MAGIC eyes
Abstract
MAGIC is a system of two 17 meter Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, located at The Roque de los Muchachos Observatory at an altitude of 2200 meters on the Canary island of La Palma. It detects gamma rays in the very high energy regime between a few tens of GeV and tens of TeV. In this presentation, I will show the latest highlights achieved thanks to the very low energy threshold of the instrument, like the measurement of the spectrum of the Geminga pulsar down to a few tens of GeV. I will also show the latest results on multiwavelength and multimessenger astronomy, in which MAGIC is playing a leading role, putting special emphasis on the flaring blazar TXS 0506+056 coincident with the high-energy neutrino IceCube-170922A and the very recent VHE gamma-ray measurement of the GRB 190114C.
