Description
MAGIC is currently the largest Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) of the world and is located at the Canary Island La Palma. Recent observations performed by this high sensitivity instrument discovered the High Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) LS I +61 303 at VHE gamma rays. The emission from LS I +61 303 was found to be variable, and the source was visible above 100~GeV energies at different runs only during some orbital phases that do not coincide with the periastron passage. Here we report on the results of an accurate analysis of the LS I +61 303 MAGIC observations.
