Abstract

During its Cycle I, the MAGIC telescope targeted about 250 hours several galactic sources sought to be, or detected previously by other experiments in the same energy domain, gamma-ray emitters. This paper reviews some results of such MAGIC observations covering, among others, supernova remnants, the Galactic Center and microquasars. We will concentrate on the recent discovery at very high energy gamma-rays of the microquasar LS I +61 303.
