Search for Detectable 3FGL Sources in the Field of View of the MAGIC Telescopes

The research of cosmic gamma-ray sources is performed with ground-based telescopes and space-bound satellites; for example the MAGIC telescopes and the Fermi satellite. Because the observation time for the MAGIC telescopes is limited and tightly scheduled, the data must be used as efficiently as possible. One way to use the data already taken more efficiently is to search for sources observed by the Fermi satellite, which are incidentally in the field of view during an observation by the MAGIC telescopes. These Fermi sources can then be analyzed with data obtained by MAGIC. This presentation gives an overview about the 3FGL catalog and the MAGIC observation database and explains how information about the sources is compiled and compared afterwards. Furthermore, multiple characteristics, such as the duration of the observations and the high-energy flux, to study the prospects of an analysis are presented.
