We present the results of a long M87 monitoring campaign in very high energy $gamma$-rays with the MAGIC-I Cherenkov telescope. A total of 150 hours of data was gathered between 2005 and 2007. No flaring activity was found during that time. Neverthel
ess, we have found an apparently steady and weak signal at the level of $7sigma$. We present the spectrum between 100 GeV and 2 TeV, which is consistent with a simple power law with a spectral index $-2.21pm0.21$ and a flux normalization (at 300 GeV) of $5.4pm1.1 times 10^{-8} frac{1}{mathrm{TeV s m}^{2}}$. It complements well with the previously published Fermi spectrum, covering an energy range of four orders of magnitude without apparent change in the spectral index.
The non-thermal jet emission in active galactic nuclei covers several orders of magnitude in the frequency range. Hence the observational approach needs multi-wavelength (MWL) campaigns collecting data in the radio, optical, UV, X-rays, high energy u
ntil the Very High Energy (VHE) gamma-ray band. MAGIC, a system of two 17 m diameter telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory on the canary island La Palma, actively participates and organizes MWL observations on known and newly discovered VHE sources. In these proceedings we report the latest results of extra-galactic observations with MAGIC, which gained new insights in time variability studies and jet emission models.
The flat-spectrum radio-quasar 3C279 (z=0.536) is the most distant object detected at very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. It is thus an important beacon for the study of the interaction of the VHE gamma-rays with the Extra-galactic Background Light (E
BL). Previous observations by EGRET showed a highly variable flux that can differ up to a factor of 100. In this paper results from an observation campaign with the MAGIC telescope during an optical flare in January 2007 will be presented and previous MAGIC results from 2006 will be summarized.
