RELEVANCE AND PROSPECTS OF MAGIC TELESCOPE GAMMA-RAY OBSERVATIONS FOR LORENTZ SYMMETRY TESTS

MAGIC is a gamma-ray telescope system located on the Canary Island of La Palma. With it, the northern very-high energy (VHE) gamma-ray sky can be observed at >50 GeV, bridging the gap in energy between satellite and ground-based measurements. In this overview, we particularly highlight source classes whose VHE gamma-ray observations bear potential of contributing to Lorentz invariance tests: pulsars, active galactic nuclei, and gamma-ray bursts.
