Abstract
Este trabajo lleva a cabo un estudio de ocultaciones de estrellas por asteroides observadas por los telescopios MAGIC, localizados en la isla de La Palma. Principalmente se analizarán los resultados obtenidos en estas observaciones para determinar su calidad, y así determinar si estos telescopios son adecuados para este uso. Se comienza por definir en detalle los conceptos importantes relacionados con las ocultaciones, que supondrán una base necesaria para la posterior comprensión del análisis. A eso le sigue la descripción del proceso de obtención de las predicciones de estos eventos, que se hacen mediante el programa Occult Watcher y de la librería de Python SORA. Se procede entonces a presentar los resultados obtenidos en las observaciones que se han identificado como exitosas. Por último, se pone a prueba el método de fotometría rápida de MAGIC con la ocultación positiva.

This is followed by a description of the process of obtaining predictions for these events, which are made using the Occult Watcher program and the Python SORA library. We then proceed to present the results obtained in the observations that have been identified as successful. Finally, MAGIC's fast photometry method is tested with a positive occultation.
