Abstract content

Along its first two cycles of observations (May 2005 - April 2007) the MAGIC telescope has observed the microquasars GRS 1915+105, Cygnus X-3 and Cygnus X-1. The first two objects were observed in the target of opportunity mode, relying on alarms based on their radio fluxes. Cyg X-1 was monitored during 50 hours spanning a period of ~3 months. We report on the results of these observations.
