Description
The low energy threshold and excellent low energy performance of the MAGIC telescopes makes them an idea instrument for studying very-high-energy emission from flat spectrum radio quasars.
In this seminar I will present the recent results of the observations of such objects with the MAGIC telescopes and multiwavelength measurements. In particular I will discuss the two farthest sources detected in VHE band: PKS1441+25 and gravitationally lensed B0218+357.
I will also present observations of the classical FSRQ PKS 1510-089 from the persistent low gamma ray state up to a violent flare during which the flux increased by over an order of magnitude during a single night.
