Recent results from MAGIC

Abstract: MAGIC is a system of two 17-m diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes, located at an altitude of 2200 m in Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary island of La Palma, exploring the gamma-ray sky above a few tens of GeV and up to tens of TeV. This system provides a low energy threshold and a fast automated response to transient phenomena. In this contribution, some selected results of MAGIC, which has been collecting data for more than 20 years, are reviewed. Special attention is given to multiwavelength and multimessenger astronomy, such as GRB 201216C, the farthest ground-based detection of a very-high-energy gamma-ray bursts, as well as the RS Ophiuchi nova. The scientific program also includes measuring the cosmic-ray electron positron spectrum, estimating the size of stars using intensity interferometry, studying gravitational lensing and searching for dark matter in spheroidal galaxies. Finally, a glimpse into the future is given by presenting the performance of the joint observations with the first Large-Sized Telescope from the Cherenkov Telescope Array and MAGIC.
