The MAGIC collaboration encourages external scientists to propose observations using the MAGIC telescopes, with observation time granted by the Time Allocation Committee (TAC) based on scientific merit. There is no predefined allocation of time between internal or external collaborators.
The deadline to submit the MAGIC proposals is January 22, 2027 at 17:00 UT.
Transnational access to MAGIC through ACME is provided to selected user groups comprising one or more researchers, with the majority of users working in EU and/or Associated Countries and not affiliated with Spanish institutes. Access includes logistical, technological and scientific support and specific training. Financial support for travel and accommodation may also be offered to selected users. User groups that generated results under this programme should acknowledge ACME support in any resulting publications.
