Camera design and performance of the prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
C. Adams, G. Ambrosi, M. Ambrosio +49
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a candidate technology for a medium-sized telescope within the Cherenkov Telescope Array, the next generation ground based observatory f…
Measurement of Cosmic-ray Electrons at TeV Energies by VERITAS
VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +58
Cosmic-ray electrons and positrons (CREs) at GeV-TeV energies are a unique probe of our local Galactic neighborhood. CREs lose energy rapidly via synchrotron radiation and inverse-…
Multiband variability studies and novel broadband SED modeling of Mrk 501 in 2009
M. L. Ahnen, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +290
We present an extensive study of the BL Lac object Mrk 501 based on a data set collected during the multi-instrument campaign spanning from 2009 March 15 to 2009 August 1 which inc…
HESS J1943+213: An Extreme Blazar Shining Through The Galactic Plane
The VERITAS Collaboration, A. Archer, W. Benbow +60
HESS J1943+213 is a very-high-energy (VHE; 100 GeV) -ray source in the direction of the Galactic Plane. Studies exploring the classification of the source are converging tow…
Detection of the Crab Nebula with the 9.7 m Prototype Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope
C. B. Adams, R. Alfaro, G. Ambrosi +105
The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a telescope concept proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It employs a dual-mirror optical design to remove comatic aberrations ov…
Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, B. S. Acharya +580
The Cherenkov Telescope Array, CTA, will be the major global observatory for very high energy gamma-ray astronomy over the next decade and beyond. The scientific potential of CTA i…
