Abstract

During its first cycle of observations, the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope has observed very high energy gamma-rays from five galactic objects: the Crab Nebula, the SNRs HESS J1813-178 and HESS J1834-087, the Galactic Center and the gamma-ray binary LS I +61 303. After a short introduction to the MAGIC telescope and the data analysis procedure, the results of these five sources are reviewed.
