Abstract content

In the last two years, the MAGIC telescope has performed an observational campaign on the X-ray binary LS I +61 303. Observations during the first year covered 6 orbital cycles and resulted in the first detection of the source above ~200 GeV. LS I +61 303 was also found to be variable. The second campaign spanned 4 more orbital cycles, covering orbital phases which had not been explored before and allowing us to map variability. The total amount of ~150 hours of observation time led to a very detailed study of this source. In this talk we report on the results of these campaigns.
