The shell-type supernova remnant (SNR) RCW 86 - possibly associated with
the historical supernova SN 185 - was observed during the past three years with the
High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), an array of four
atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes located in Namibia.
The multi-wavelength properties of RCW 86, e.g. weak radio emission and North-East
X-ray emission almost entirely consist

We present the results of an analysis of Chandra and RXTE X-ray spectral
data for the supernova remnant Cas A. Thousands of Chandra spectra for
roughly arcsecond-sized regions were fitted with a simple model that
includes a bremsstrahlung continuum and several Gaussian emission lines.
The results of this analysis reveal that the faint, narrow filaments around
the outer edge of the remnant hav

The Supernova remnant Cassiopeia A was observed with the 17 meter imaging atmospheric
Cherenkov telescope MAGIC for about 50 hours in winter 2006/07. The observations were
performed in the so-called wobble mode, under moderated Moon illumination. Above 1
TeV, Cas A has been detected by the HEGRA Stereoscopic Cherenkov Telescope System, at
the level of few percent of Crab. The detection of TeV

The gamma-ray pulsar PSR B1509-58, surrounded by the supernova remnant
MSH15-
52, was expected to be a Very High Energy gamma-ray source. CANGAROO-I 3.8
m telescope reported a marginal detection of VHE gamma-rays above 1.9 TeV
and
recently H.E.S.S. detected an extended signal along with the pulsar jets, from
sub-TeV to tens of TeV.
We observed MSH15-52 using CANGAROO-III imaging atmosp

SNRs in general, and in particular, those SNRs which might
be physically related with EGRET sources were chosen as a
target for observations with the MAGIC telescope. Here we
report about the searches for VHE gamma-ray emission from
the SNRs IC443, W66 and W44.
We briefly describe the observational strategy, the procedure
implemented for the data analysis, and discuss the results.

Observations of pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae
have been conducted during the last two years using the
MAGIC Imaging Cerenkov Telescope. In addition to the study
of the nebula emission, the low energy threshold of MAGIC
offers the opportunity to search for the pulsed emission
with very high sensitivity.
The selection of the objects was based on their spin-down luminosity
and the probabi
