In the past two decades, the strategy to study very-high-energy gamma-ray emitters (from 0.1 to tens of TeV) changed drastically. The detection-based approach aimed at populating the TeV gamma-ray sky evolved into a physics-driven one, with the ambitious objective of understanding the mechanisms responsible for the emission and their environments. The synergic collaboration between instruments operating in different electromagnetic bands and with different messengers is crucial.
In this seminar, I will present the MAGIC instrument, a couple of telescopes observing the TeV sky since 2004, and report highlights on extragalactic physics studies recently achieved.
