Abstract
MAGIC is an instrument composed of a pair of telescopes for gammaray and cosmic-ray astrophysics in the TeV range. It is operating for more than a decade now, and is one of the current best performing instruments in this field, specifically at low energies, where it achieves the largest sensitivity. MAGIC pursues a strong program in galactic and extragalactic gamma-ray science. Its catalog of blazars, radiogalaxies and galaxy clusters observations as well as supernovae, novae, pulsar wind nebulae, pulsars and binary systems has now increased to several tens of detected targets. In addition, MAGIC is suited for cosmic ray searches, being sensitive to the signatures of earth-skimming tau-neutrinos, cosmic antiprotons, and others. Furthermore, MAGIC has a strong fundamental physics program, with searches for particle dark matter, Lorentz Invariance violations, axion-like particles and primordial black hole evaporation, providing important recent constraints in some relevant cases. Finally, MAGIC has a follow-up program of Gravitational Waves events. Few highlights topics will be discussed in this contribution.
