FACT - Long-term Monitoring of Bright TeV-Blazars

D. Dorner, A. Biland, T. Bretz +21

Since October 2011, the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is operated successfully on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from the proof of principle for the use of G-APDs in…

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to spectral signatures of hadronic PeVatrons with application to Galactic Supernova Remnants

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, F. Acero, A. Acharyya +356

The local Cosmic Ray (CR) energy spectrum exhibits a spectral softening at energies around 3~PeV. Sources which are capable of accelerating hadrons to such energies are called hadr…

VHE -ray observations of bright BL Lacs with the Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) of the CTAO

The CTAO-LST Project, :, K. Abe +331

Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) is the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory operating in the energy range from 20 GeV up to 300 TeV, with two sites in La…

Towards a Flexible Array Control and Operation Framework for CTA

E. Birsin, J. Colomé, D. Hoffmann +13

The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) \cite{CTA:2010} will be the successor to current Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) like H.E.S.S., MAGIC and VERITAS. CTA will impr…

Extreme flux states of NGC 4151 observed with INTEGRAL

P. Lubinski, A. A. Zdziarski, R. Walter +5

We present a comprehensive spectral analysis of all INTEGRAL data obtained so far for the X-ray--bright Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. We also use all contemporaneous data from RXTE, XMM…

FACT -- The G-APD revolution in Cherenkov astronomy

T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +53

Since two years, the FACT telescope is operating on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from its purpose to serve as a monitoring facility for the brightest TeV blazars, it was bu…
