Summary
MAGIC Sources



We have seen ~15 sources including several new sources
Micro-Quasars are playing an important role as a source of galactic
cosmic rays
New 100GeV HBLs show steep spectra
The attenuation by e+- creation
The nature of SSC mechanism

GRB observations
2 among 9 observations were done in prompt phase
Eventually MAGIC may see VHE gammas from GRBs
Second telescope MAGIC-II is under the construction in La Palma

Next year we will start stereo observation  2 times better sensitivity 
number of sources may increase ~50
HESS and MAGIC people are planning CTA after HESS and MAGIC
experiment


10 times better sensitivity than HESS and MAGIC
