Abstract

Starting in fall 2012, the MAGIC collaboration conducted a nova follow-up program in order to detect a possible VHE gamma-ray component. The program responded to Fermi-LAT detections of different types of novae at GeV energies: it initially focussed on symbiotic novae and later extended to bright Classical Novae and additional outbursts from other Cataclysmic Variables. I will report on the observations performed with the MAGIC telescopes of the symbiotic nova YY Her, the DN ASASSN-13ax, and the Classical Nova V339 Del and present the contemporaneous updated analysis of Fermi-LAT data.
