Abstract
There are several types of Galactic sources that can potentially accelerate charged particles up to GeV and TeV energies. These accelerated particles can produce Very High Energy (VHE, E >100 GeV) γ-ray emission through different processes like for example inverse Compton scattering of ambient photon fields by accelerated electrons. We present here the results of our obser-vations of the source class of γ-ray binaries and the subclass of binary systems known as novae with the MAGIC telescopes. The focus lies on the five sources: nova V339 Del, AE Aquarii, SS 433, MWC 656 and LS I +61°303. The binary system LS I +61◦303 was observed in a long-term monitoring campaign for 8 years. We show the newest results on our search for superorbital variability also in context with contemporaneous optical observations. MWC 656 is a unique detected high-mass X-ray binary system, since it is up to now the only one known composed of a Be star and a black hole. Furthermore, we present the observations of the only super-critical accretion system known in our galaxy: SS 433. Finally, results of our multiwavelength observation campaign regarding the cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii and the results of the follow-up observations of the nova V339 Del will be discussed in these proceedings.
