Descripción
The MAGIC telescope, with many technological innovations which allow the telescope to have a low energy threshold and a very fast slewing time, could be one of the first ground based experiments able to see transient phenomena like Gamma Ray Bursts. In this paper we present a study on the MAGIC telescope possibilities to observe GRBs, obtaining a result of 0.5 ÷ 2 observable GRBs per year.
