MAGIC is an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope or IACT that has started measuring since the commissioning ended in late 2004. The project is funded primarily by the funding agencies BMFB (Germany), MPG (Germany), INFN (Italy), and CICYT (Spain).
The reductionistic views have helped our perceptions form with a deeper insight by undertanding Gamma Ray detection.
Map of gamma rays measured by MAGIC around the location of LS I +61 303 at two different points along the orbital cycle. Left: when the two stars are closest to one another (periastron passage). Right: a third of an orbit away from the periastron passage.
