Abstract

MAGIC is currently the largest single dish ground-based imaging air Cherenkov telescope in operation. During its first cycle of observations more than 20 extragalactic objects have been observed, and very high energy y-ray signals have been detected in several of them. The results of this observations are presented, together with a discussion of the spectral characteristics and the flux variability of the detected sources.
