Description
MAGIC, the system of two imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located at the Canary island of La Palma, has successfully explored the very-high-energy (VHE) sky in stereoscopic mode since 2009. Thanks to its two 17-m diameter mirror dishes, MAGIC has provided unique results in the low-energy range of ground-base gamma-ray astronomy. In addition, the substantial upgrades introduced in the last years have improved the stability and the performance of these instruments, increasing its scientific potential for the coming years. In this talk I will review the current (upgraded) performance of the telescopes, and will briefly report on the most exciting results obtained with MAGIC during the last year.
