Description
The Galactic Center region is one of the primary targets for
observations with the current generation of gamma-ray telescopes. This
attention is primarily caused by the presence of a black hole of 4
million solar masses, which provides a rare opportunity to study
the interaction of a super-massive black hole with surrounding matter
at a relatively close distance. Recently the interest to this region was
increased by a series of exciting discoveries: the large, extended
bubbles detected with Fermi/LAT, the envisioned burst of high-energy
emission due to the passage of the G2 gas cloud, the likely pevatron
nature of the primary source unveiled with H.E.S.S. and the discovery of
a new source in the region, reported by the major Cherenkov telescopes
MAGIC, H.E.S.S. and VERITAS. All these underline the complex physics of
the region, revealed by deep gamma-ray observations.
In this talk I will present the results of the multi-year observational
program of the Galactic Center region with the MAGIC telescopes,
conducted at large zenith angle. I will discuss in detail the morphology of this region and compare it with predictions of several different models.
