This thesis is a comprehensive work that addresses many of the open
questions currently being discusssed in the very-high-energy (VHE)
gamma-ray community. It presents a detailed description of the
MAGIC telescope together with a glimpse of the future Cherenkov
Telescope Array (CTA). One section is devoted to the design,
development and characterization of trigger systems for current and
future imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The book also
features a state-of-the-art description of pulsar wind nebula (PWN)
systems, the study of the multi-TeV spectrum of the Crab nebula, as
well as the discovery of VHE gamma rays at the multiwavelength PWN
3C 58, which were sought at these wavelengths for more than twenty
years. It also includes the contextualization of this discovery
amongst the current population of VHE gamma-ray PWNe. Cataclysmic
variable stars represent a new source of gamma ray energies, and
are also addressed here. In closing, the thesis reports on the
systematic search for VHE gamma-ray emissions of AE Aquarii in a
multiwavelength context and the search for VHE gamma-ray
variability of novae during outbursts at different wavelengths.
