Abstract content
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 probability of emission given the various models of VHE $\gamma$-ray production above 100 GeV.
We present the results of these observations and their implication for models of VHE emission.
