Abstract content

The TeV source J2032+4130 is the first unidentified detection in very high energy astrophysics and remains so. There have been contradictory claims regarding its extension, flux level and variability in gamma-rays, although the longest and most sensitive observation up to now favor a steady, extended source. MAGIC has devoted more than 80 hours on J2032+4130 observations during 2005 and 2006. We present the most recent results with the MAGIC telescope on this source.
