Scientific paper

The MAGIC collaboration has been performing Target of Opportunity VHE γ-ray observations of blazars, when optical flaring is seen by the Tuorla blazar monitoring program. In the years 2006-2008, there have been 5 optical alerts during good weather conditions, and reasonable declination of the source. Three alerts have resulted in discoveries of VHE γ-rays from previously undetected sources. In this paper we discuss the discovered sources and the connection between flares in the optical, and VHE γ-ray regimes.
